AI will revolutionize peer-reviewed research by improving efficiency and quality
RobbWiller · x · 2026-09-01
This article discusses how AI is set to revolutionize the peer review process at the heart of modern science. The author argues that while there are concerns about practices losing value when human effort is removed, the production of higher-quality research more efficiently is a substantial benefit that cannot be rejected simply due to vibes or philosophical abstractions. It reviews the history of peer review (e.g., Einstein's refusal to respond to a referee) and suggests that practices rendered obsolete by technology lose their value. The trick is to preserve practices that haven't lost their value.
