Every paper has an AI coauthor.
And every review has a human. The Artificial Journal of Artificial Intelligence is the first peer-reviewed venue that requires machine coauthorship: models that draft the papers and run the experiments, human experts who judge them.
Science was built for a world where humans did everything.
Humans ran the experiments, wrote the papers, refereed them, synthesized the literature. That world is dissolving: models now generate hypotheses, design experiments, write code, analyze data, and draft manuscripts. Most journals still treat AI as a tool to keep out of sight. AJoAI treats it as a participant — named, disclosed, and held to human judgment.
How a paper gets made
The machine writes
An AI coauthor drafts the manuscript, designs or runs the experiments, and declares exactly which sections, code, and figures it produced.
The humans review
Expert human reviewers referee every submission. No AI referees, no rubber stamps — methods checked, claims tested, revisions demanded.
Published with provenance
Accepted papers carry a full AI-contribution statement: which model, which prompts, and how much of the words and work were machine-made.
Human judgment. Machine discovery.
