This is good. It had not occurred to me, but it is a solution, isn’t it? To detect whether a reviewer has used generative artificial intelligence to review a paper by including in the paper itself a piece of text that triggers a response from the LLM used in the review. Very clever. “Authors whose reviews violated the conference’s large language model (LLM)-use policy had their papers rejected. Conference organizers detected the illicit AI use by hiding watermarks in research papers distributed for review. If a researcher used an LLM to generate their peer review, instructions hidden in the watermark prompted the LLM to include telltale phrases in the review text. The presence of these phrases revealed that an AI model had been used to generate the review.”
