Researcher Proposes Paying Reviewers and Mandatory Reproduction Checks to Fix AI Peer Review
ziv_ravid · x · 2026-09-21
Researcher zivravid argues the current AI peer-review system must be rebuilt or it will collapse under 60K submissions.
Key proposals:
- Reproducibility by default: code, data and intermediate results mandatory at submission, verified by an agent. No verified reproduction, no publication. Those unwilling to share everything simply don't have to play.
- Pay reviewers: real money or real credit for review work.
The author frames it as a take-it-or-leave-it ultimatum to the community.
