ICML 2027 Program Chair Andrew Wilson publicly asked for ideas on handling AI slop, exploding submissions, reviewing load, and bureaucracy. Quoting him, @galyo proposes a radical two-track system — citing 60k ICLR submissions as evidence the community is too slow — where Track B papers are reviewed entirely by AI: conferences still set acceptance standards, but enforcement shifts from human reviewers to an AI review process designed by each conference's steering committee.
