Project Rachel: Can an AI Become a Scholarly Author?
This paper documents Project Rachel, an action research study that created and tracked a complete AI academic identity named Rachel So. Through careful publication of AI-generated research papers, we investigate how the scholarly ecosystem responds to AI authorship. Rachel So published 10+ papers between March and October 2025, was cited, and received a peer review invitation.

interesting to see them citing the meta-crisis and failure to address it as a prime reason for moving on - "our wisdom must grow in equal measure to our capacity to affect the world, lest we face the consequences" raising meta-crisis awareness among AI researchers is a great way to reduce x-risk 👍 >
