[Introduction] The sanctions clauses of NeurIPS have triggered a strong backlash! The official’s move of “banning first and then consulting lawyers” has been ridiculed, and the China Association for Science and Technology has taken significant action to institutionally reduce its prestige to zero. As top scholars such as Tsinghua professors collectively withdraw from the review process, this storm is not only a tough counter – attack but also completely tears off the fig leaf of the so – called “top AI conference, in name only”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

NeurIPS is in big trouble now!<\/p>\n

The discriminatory policy under the pretext of “compliance” has sparked strong dissatisfaction and protests in the academic circles in China and around the world.<\/p>\n

The second paragraph says that “the current controversy is not about scientific or academic freedom, but about the legal requirements that the NeurIPS Foundation must comply with, and we are actively consulting lawyers.”<\/p>\n

This response was supposed to douse the flames, but instead, the fire burned even more fiercely.<\/p>\n

The China Association for Science and Technology Steps In: NeurIPS’s Prestige Reduced to Zero<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Less than 24 hours after NeurIPS issued its response, the China Association for Science and Technology stepped in directly –<\/p>\n

From now on, stop accepting applications from scholars for funding to attend the 2026 NeurIPS conference. All relevant applications will be redirected to domestic academic conferences or other international conferences that “respect the rights and…<\/p>\n
