AI-assisted research trends spark a surge in NeurIPS submissions and quality advances

PTenigma · x · 2026-08-15

The author observes a trend where many recent CS and math papers are largely written by AI. Despite this, they represent significant advances over prior knowledge, making them worth publishing despite the surge in volume—NeurIPS received 21k valid submissions in 2025 vs 9k in 2020. AI can assist in reading and distilling this avalanche of information. Furthermore, this AI-assisted "superintelligence" is driving massive leaps in pure and applied math, CS/AI research, neuroscience, and medicine (e.g., AlphaFold).
