NeurIPS 2026 AI for Science Workshop: Verification in the Age of AI Scientists
The NeurIPS 2026 workshop 'Verification in the Age of AI Scientists' explores the growing challenge of trusting AI-generated scientific outputs as autonomous systems produce hypotheses and experiments at scales beyond human capacity for manual review. It focuses on developing frameworks for verification across scientific domains where verifiers are imperfect, scarce, or absent, addressing how to allocate limited verification resources and determine when AI-generated results are trustworthy.

Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Position Track
4–8-page clear, contestable arguments about the epistemics of verification, evaluated on novelty, engagement with scientific practice, and falsifiability.
Verifier Systems Track
4–8-page papers describing a deployed verifier, including construction, performance, failure modes, and access; requires release of code and artifacts.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must be double-blind and anonymized.
- Submissions should be 4-8 pages with unlimited references and appendices.
- Appendices are optional and reviewers are not required to read them.
- Use the NeurIPS 2026 LaTeX template; the NeurIPS checklist is not required.
- Change the template footnote to 'Submitted to/Accepted at/Published in the AI for Science workshop (NeurIPS 2026).'
- Workshop is nonarchival; accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website.
- Submissions may include original unpublished work, recently published journal work, or work in progress.
- For the Verifier Systems Track, authors must release code and verifier artifacts alongside publication.
