The AI peer review debate: is just running a paper through Claude dishonest?

anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-29

jmschreiber91 draws a key distinction between fully AI and AI-assisted review: if you're asked to review a paper and just run it through Claude, isn't that dishonest — and couldn't journals provide auto-reviews themselves? Kundaje responds that everything should be disclosed either way, including the common-but-hidden practice of grad students/postdocs reviewing for PIs, and pure AI reviews are fine if explicitly marked.
