The American Economic Association (AEA) journals recently piloted the AI tool Refine to assist in the peer-review process. Feedback indicates that approximately 90% of authors reacted positively to incorporating it into the editorial workflow.
Commentators note that Refine should be viewed not as a referee, but as a meticulous technical proofreader helping to eliminate bugs in conditionally accepted papers. Despite some debate on social media, the overall sentiment remains highly encouraging regarding the use of AI to improve academic paper quality.
