This year, the NeurIPS 2026 Position Paper Track made the decision to require that all papers be substantially human-written, with AI used for only copy-editing or similar peripheral changes to the main text! For more details, please check our blogpost: blog.neurips.cc/2026/06…
- NeurIPS desk-rejected 178 papers (18.4%) via Pangram; 123 more must prove human authorship by June 15, 2026.
- Default Pangram window sizes flagged 42.7% of submissions; refined 100-word windows reduced that rate to 12.7%.
- Comparison venues FAccT 2025 and NeurIPS E&D 2026 showed 0% and 2.1% maximum AI scores respectively.
