AAAI, one of the leading AI research conferences, tested AI peer reviews for over 22k submissions. The authors received human reviews as well and then answered a survey on their preferences.
The findings are quite interesting:
"The large-scale survey of AAAI-26 authors, reviewers, senior program committee members, and area chairs found that participants broadly found AI reviews useful and preferred them to human reviews on key dimensions such as technical accuracy and research suggestions, but also identified some limitations and areas for improvement including technical errors in reading some equations and tables, difficulty in prioritizing the significance of issues, and producing reviews that were longer than readers preferred"Critique by authors is also mentioned in the paper:
"Respondents also emphasized that AI reviews had the potential to mislead reviewers and other decision-makers in the review process. There were also concerns that authors might optimize papers for AI preferences rather than scientific quality, and that reliance on these tools could lead to a long-term decline in reviewing skill. Adding to this, many respondents voiced principled objections, arguing that the use of AI undermines the trust, human effort, and essential value of the peer review process." -

@krismicinski Oh wow. In my pile of around 12 papers for AAAI (I'm senior PC) I missed about 9 (out of 36) reviews yesterday (12h before the AoE deadline just now) from regular PC members. Extrapolating to 23,000 papers / 69,000 reviews, people are trying to upload 17,000+ reviews as we speak ...

Reviewing for AAAI 2026, which has some mind blowing stats:
- 29,000 submissions, 6,000 desk rejected, 23,000 under review
- 20,000 submissions from China (AAAI will be in Singapore)
- 75,000 unique authors
- Top topics: Vision (10K), ML (8K), NLP (4K)
- 28,000 PC members (reg., senior, area chairs) -
Wow. AAAI 2026 is running a pilot “AI-Assisted Peer-Review Process”. Besides regular reviews, each paper will receive one extra LLM-generated review. No scores, but visible to reviewers and authors.
I take it that as an AI conference, AAAI was eager to try this out. Not looking forward to writing the author response to an LLM’s opinion on my paper, though. Also not sure how this will help reviewers.
