arXiv:2606. 10159v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI is increasingly used to support scientific peer review, from manuscript screening, reviewer assistance to editorial triage.
arXiv:2607. 27191v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forecasts of explosive AI progress hinge on AI agents automating AI research.
arXiv:2607. 04049v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We argue that generative AI can degrade research by eroding the very practices through which scholarly judgement is formed and academic trust is built.
The paper introduces SciUtopia, a closed‑loop large‑language‑model simulation framework that models the evolving academic research ecosystem, including research direction, collaboration, publication, peer review, funding, and researcher attrition. Running 61 simulation worlds, the system simulates over 40,000 researchers and 1.2 million LLM‑generated peer reviews, revealing that rejection‑driven resubmission increases reviewer burden, cautious exploration balances citation impact with career success, and resource inequality can arise without early‑funding advantage.
arXiv:2607. 15164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Artificial intelligence is transforming scientific research - not merely as a more powerful instrument, but as an autonomous participant in the research cycle itself.
arXiv:2607. 26064v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI systems are becoming autonomous research agents that generate hypotheses, design experiments, and produce discoveries at scales beyond human oversight.
