Is peer review important? More AI researchers are posting on arXiv as advanced papers and forgetting to go through the peer review part. Some authors are submitting some version of their peer reviwed articles (like conference papers) through the system. arXiv is becoming an important part of reports. For example, in the The International AI Safety Report, 30% of the references in the Report (393/1366), 44% of Update 1 (73/168), 60% of Update 2 (100/175), are from arXiv, which
