A new study evaluated AI reviewers on Nature-family papers, finding that while they can outperform top human reviewers in identifying correct, significant, and well-evidenced criticisms, they also exhibit distinct weaknesses. The research involved 45 scientists annotating over 2,900 criticisms from human and AI reviews. While AI reviewers like GPT-5.2, Gemini 3.0 Pro, and Claude Opus 4.5 showed strengths in accuracy and identifying unique issues, they also demonstrated limitations in specialized knowledge, handling multiple files, and an overly critical stance on minor points, suggesting they are best used as complements to human reviewers.
