AI researcher warns peer review may need credential gates to stop one-shot AI papers
sethlazar · x · 2026-09-20
Responding to Anka Reuel's call for public accountability on every submission, Seth Lazar argues such measures won't be enough: too many 'one-shot' AI-paper submitters exist. Stricter measures might make professionals more professional but won't stop amateurs, so venues may need to require credentials or institutional affiliation — 'regrettable,' he says, likening himself to a Night's Watch member facing advancing armies of the dead. The thread captures AI-generated papers' impact on peer review governance.
