The preprint website arXiv has announced that researchers who have put their names to papers that included errors clearly generated by artificial intelligence (AI) will face a year-long ban and ongoing restrictions.

ArXiv will be issuing one-year bans to authors caught submitting AI work.

The science platform is tightening its rules again: Anyone who passes off AI garbage as science will be banned – and then scrutinized more closely.

A single violation might be enough to result in suspension.
