Will AI-written and AI-reviewed preprints from aiXiv be bibliometrically accepted?
Abstract
The preprint server aiXiv allows documents to be authored and/or peer-reviewed exclusively by generative artificial intelligence (GAI). Journal editors may find themselves in an ethical bind-either embracing preprints and GAI, or sanctioning them, including by banning the citation of GAI-generated knowledge. Will GAI-generated or GAI-reviewed content become indexed in major scientific databases, including in peer-reviewed articles citing it?
