Stanford prof Anshul Kundaje slams AI x Bio peer review as 'a complete farce'
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-10-29
Stanford professor Anshul Kundaje sharply criticizes the state of AI x Bio research: papers with ridiculous claims are passing peer review at journals and conferences — "a complete farce" — while companies post unverifiable, over-hyped claims with deliberate misdirection. He argues the root cause is that such behavior is rewarded in academic publishing, fundraising, and visibility, so people engage in it actively and deliberately. A pointed insider critique of hype in AI for Science.
