About this paper

Ko Fujimura

The authors test whether a coding agent can choose research questions and report every result within a human-set research area. Across five runs, it completed question formulation, experiments, AI review, and revised papers without recorded human research advice or permission requests. AI reviewers rated papers favorably to borderline for workshops, but rejected all for main-track acceptance; human review was absent.
