AAAI Conference combats surge in AI-assisted dual submissions

The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence has identified a significant increase in dual submissions, where identical or similar papers are submitted to multiple venues without disclosure. During the AAAI-26 review process, organizers found 141 submissions that were desk-rejected due to being duplicates. This rise is attributed to the growing accessibility of generative AI tools, which facilitate the creation of papers that use different wording to convey the same contribution, making detection more challenging and time-consuming. The conference proposes several recommendations, including updating submission policies, implementing dual-submission checking tools before submission deadlines, fostering cross-venue collaboration on consistent policies and penalties, and developing community-driven detection tools.
