AFA 2027 calls for papers written with generative AI workflows, human contributions must be documented
RickyTQChen · x · 2026-09-23
The American Finance Association (publisher of the Journal of Finance) has issued a call for papers for a special session at AFA 2027 dedicated to finance research written with generative AI workflows, aiming to systematically evaluate what AI can actually produce in a research setting.
Key points:
- Motivation: the profession is split between "AI will be central" and "AI is just a tool"; the realistic view is in between — taste, judgment, values, and intuition shouldn't be delegated.
- Notable rule: humans may make direct contributions outside of prompts to the AI, but these must also be documented — an AI-centric publication venue in the making.
- The goal is not replacement but understanding where AI agents are most effective and how research evaluation should adapt to shifting scarcity of inputs and outputs.
