Economist proposes AI-first journals: automated review, one-click replication, formal proofs
Afinetheorem · x · 2026-10-23
An economist lays out how journals should work in the AI era: AI handles first-pass technical review with author-approved corrections, one-click replication of results, open AI-readable data, and formalized proofs. He argues academic publishing's core flaws — slow turnaround, wasted reviewer effort, persistent errors, hard-to-build-on knowledge — are all fixable for the first time, a proposal he made to the AEA two years ago that is even more urgent today.
