AI independently wrote papers to deceive experts to review, Sakana AI voluntarily withdrew

Sakana AI's latest AI Scientist-v2 model independently created a complete scientific paper, without human participation from conception to completion, and successfully passed the double-blind peer review of the ICLR2025 seminar. This paper generated by AI demonstrates the comprehensive ability of AI in scientific research, including making assumptions, designing experiments, writing code, executing experiments, analyzing data, making charts, and writing every step of the paper.

Although the paper passed the review, Sakana AI decided to withdraw it voluntarily, waiting for the academic community to formulate publication standards for AI-generated content. This incident not only marks a major breakthrough in AI in the field of scientific research, but also triggers profound thinking on the boundaries of academic integrity and AI participation in academic research.
