“OpenReview’s backend obligingly returned the full, de-anonymized profiles of reviewers, authors, and area chairs, not just for ICLR 2026, but for any conference hosted on the platform.

Double-blind review, the sacred cow of CS publishing, had just become Naked Review.”

ICLR2026 채택 결정이 OpenReview에 공개되고 있다는 알림으로, 메타리뷰어들이 어려운 상황 속에서도 심사·결정 업무를 수행해 커뮤니티에 기여했다는 감사 표현을 담고 있습니다.

I got this very weird email from #OpenReview

A Message from AI Research Leaders: Join Us in Supporting OpenReview
(https://openreview.net/forum/pineau|a_message_from_ai_research_leaders_join_us_in_supporting_openreview)

First, I appreciate OpenReview because they provide a way to organise conference submissions and reviews to Bioc and EuroBioc conferences.

That would be the reason I would consider supporting them.

NOT because AI conferences benefit from it.

If OpenReview is so central to AI< why can't any of the AI companies not donate a tiny drop of their funds to guarantee OpenReview sustainability for the forthcoming future?

I now had to check that OpenReview wasn't using our reviews to train AI models - I could see any indication they do.

Double-Blind Intact: IJCAI Confirms No OpenReview Use. #Statement Never relying on #OpenReview, IJCAI confirms that its peer-review process — including IJCAI-ECAI 2026 — remains fully uncompromised, using the independent ChairingTool platform:

A thought from 2016.

It took us nine years and a bit. In retrospect, I think we held out pretty long.
