Ben Goertzel: AI Peer Review Already Beats Humans, and Human Bias Is Harder to Fix
bengoertzel · x · 2026-10-28
Responding to Dileep George's claim that not using AI for peer review is a disservice, Ben Goertzel argues AI reviews already outperform human ones. He believes expert humans should stay in the loop, but well-constructed AI agents should do the bulk of reviewing. He admits AI tends to revert to the mean and over-criticize fringe work — but human referees share that bias and are much harder to prompt out of it.
