Summary:
"At most scientific publications, papers co-authored by artificial intelligence (AI) are not welcome. At a new open platform called aiXiv, they are embraced. The platform goes all in on AI: It accepts both AI- and human-authored work, uses built-in AI reviewers for baseline quality screening, and guides authors through revisions based on the chatbots’ feedback. “AI-generated knowledge shouldn’t be treated differently,” says Guowei Huang, one of aiXiv’s creators and a Ph.D. candidate specializing in AI and business at the University of Manchester. “We should only care about quality—not who produced it.”
The platform is still at an early stage; after a mid-November update, it hosts just a few dozen papers and early-stage proposals. But many researchers say it promises a welcome reprieve for the overloaded human peer-review system, which has been forced to shoulder the ongoing surge of papers driven by both legitimate and banned use of AI."
