ICLR 2027 Tops 60K Submissions as Researchers Debate AI-Run Peer Review
sytelus · x · 2026-09-22
zivravid notes ICLR 2027 received 60K+ submissions and argues the conference format must be rethought to survive, offering reform suggestions.
sytelus pushes further: most future research will be generated by AI, so it must also be reviewed, scored and filtered by AI—that will effectively become the conference's core function. A conference's quality will hinge on how good its review AI is.
The exchange captures the core tension in academic publishing: human peer review is unsustainable at this submission volume, and AI on both the generation and review sides is becoming the default path in many researchers' eyes.
