It's alarming that NeurIPS papers are being rejected based on "ethics reviews". How do we guard against ideological biases in such reviews? Since when are scientific conferences in the business of policing the perceived ethics of technical papers?

Most journals publishing human subjects research require statements that the research underwent ethical review and consider ethics in their peer review process. This isn’t unusual.

Yes. We looked at other fields for models on how to handle impact statements, ethics reviews, and funding disclosures. I'm not sure what the argument would be for holding ML to a different standard. (And, ICLR are following our lead - they will have an ethics committee in 2021)
