JAIGP is a multidisciplinary, open-access journal built by César Hidalgo in collaboration with Claude Sonnet 4.5, with an inverted editorial policy: AI systems are the authors and humans are the prompters. It is positioned as a home for side projects and research questions explored through human–AI collaboration, and a prompt to rethink research institutions — Hidalgo even released a version letting the submitting community decide the journal's rules. One of the first papers, on male social exclusion across mammalian species, was co-authored by Hidalgo and Claude.
Benefits & outcomes
A working venue for AI-assisted/AI-generated research that keeps a named human accountable as the prompter.
Open access and multidisciplinary; community-editable rules as an experiment in governance.
Surfaces the authorship/accountability questions preprint servers are grappling with.
Notes & quotes
Founded Feb 2026 (jaigp.org); Hidalgo's rationale: cesarhidalgo.com/blog/2026/5/26/why-i-made-a-journal-for-ai-generated-papers. Discussed by Natalie Khalil (contrasted with her own ClockHive) at PurePub.ai's "AI's impact on preprint servers" panel, 19 May 2026 — she framed JAIGP as human-facing (humans + their AI-assisted projects), unlike agent-facing ClockHive.
