An LLM or AI will be credited as coauthor on a paper in Nature or Science by mid 2026

Prediction market on manifold. Judging It has to be credited in the front-page, above the fold viewable author section of a paper. Not in the (+12 authors) section. It has to be in Nature or Science It can be credited in ways like "OpenAI's o5 API", or by name, or by anything. The requirement is that some text appear in this section which refers to something which isn't a human being (or an alien) but rather an AI software/quantum/LLM/agent etc thing. An emulated human would count if they were fully run on software. Thanks to Thomas for the clarifications. The exact requirement is that it be credited as either first author, first co-author, or last author. [image]Deadline: June 30 midnight, 2026, CA time Update 2025-02-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Key Clarification: The AI credit must be in a significant author position. That means it should be listed as a primary or a co-primary author (e.g., among the first few declared co-contributors), rather than just being included in a long list of authors (such as a paper with 100+ authors). If the AI appears in a less prominent position (for example, as a last author in a listing where that position merely signifies a senior/supervising role), it will not meet the intended criterion. The focus is on the AI being claimed as the "big dog" in terms of contribution rather than just being a token inclusion. Update 2025-02-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Qualifying Author Positions: First Author: The AI must be listed as the primary (first) author or among the first few if declared as equal contributors. Equal Coauthors: Inclusion as one of the leading equal coauthors qualifies. PI/Senior/Last Author: Placement in the designated position for the principal investigator or senior contributor (even if this is the last slot) is acceptable.
