TL;DR
- ArXiv will ban authors for one year if their papers show incontrovertible evidence of unverified AI generation.
- Examples of such evidence include hallucinated references and LLM meta-comments.
- After the ban, authors must have their subsequent submissions accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue before uploading to ArXiv.
- Authors are responsible for all content in their papers, regardless of how it was generated.
- This policy builds on a previous update that restricted review articles and position papers to peer-reviewed content.
- The goal is to reduce "AI slop" and maintain the quality of academic research.
