Researcher Anders Sandberg discusses the prospects of using AI-generated reviews and criticism in academia. He notes that while AI review is not always right or unbiased, its advantages lie in being fast and cheap, often possessing a broader knowledge base than many human reviewers.
He predicts that by 2026, leaving home without AI review will be unthinkable. Furthermore, AI can move the peer review process along the Pareto frontier, turning quality, level, neutrality, and bias into user-settable parameters.
