Git Records Fall Short for Auditing AI's Role in Research Repositories, Paper Finds
Koutian Wu · hf · 2026-10-26
Auditing two single-investigator AI-assisted research repositories — one with prescriptive traces (standing rule files), one with incidental traces (scattered commits and assistant dialogue residue) — the paper finds repository evidence of AI involvement is partially visible and unreliable for measuring actual participation. As publishers and funders demand AI-contribution disclosure, auditable provenance systems are needed beyond what Git records.
