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?

Agreed that there is profound difference. Though in a sense research design may have even more impact than an application. This is about what training data you cherry picked, how the feature space is developed (for instance). 1/2

Same with medical research, actually. Ethics of gene research , for example, is evaluated on possible uses.

How does that work? Is it about not performing some experiments, or is it about hiding information from the public?

If you're expecting your research papers to not have an effect in the world then they're pretty awful research papers.

Nevertheless ‘ethical review’ sounds similarly naive: whose ethics, what criteria, is this about good or bad or about right or wrong - who get to decide on what basis what’s bad or wrong? These are political issues, not to be hidden behind notion of ‘ethics review’ 1/2
