ArXiv will impose a one-year ban on authors who submit research papers containing evidence of unchecked, AI-generated errors or hallucinations.Summary
The preprint repository ArXiv is implementing a stricter policy against low-quality, AI-generated content. According to Thomas Dietterich, chair of the site's computer science section, papers containing undeniable evidence of unverified LLM output—such as hallucinated references—will result in a one-year suspension for the authors. Following the ban, future submissions from these authors will require proof of acceptance at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. This policy does not ban AI usage entirely; rather, it mandates that authors take full responsibility for their content, regardless of the tools used in its creation.
