IntraGuard: Committee-Side Defenses Against Review Outsourcing to Chatbots
A new arXiv paper proposes IntraGuard, a defense meant to be deployed by editorial boards and program committees rather than by individual reviewers. It targets the growing problem of reviewers delegating peer review wholesale to commercial chatbots, a practice motivated by earlier evidence that these systems produce inadequate critiques. The work focuses on detecting such outsourced reviews from the committee's side.
