Study Reveals Disconnect Between Expectations and Practice in AI Disclosure
danish037 · x · 2026-08-25
An analysis of 13,867 disclosure statements from EMNLP 2025 and ICLR 2026 reveals a significant gap between researcher expectations and actual practices in AI disclosure. While CS researchers deem disclosure most necessary for tasks involving research design (e.g., proposing hypotheses, generating synthetic data) with low human involvement, and least necessary for writing and reporting, writing assistance is frequently disclosed in practice despite its perceived lower necessity.
