NeurIPS Should Require Reproducibility Standards for Frontier AI Safety Claims
A position paper proposes that NeurIPS implement mandatory reproducibility standards for frontier AI safety claims, arguing that the field's most consequential assertions about model safety are routinely made without releasing the artifacts needed to verify them. The proposal introduces a three-tier disclosure framework with controlled review mechanisms to address an evidential inversion where critical safety claims lack the rigor applied to less impactful research.
