MDPI has fully deployed its proprietary AI ethics screening system, 'Ethicality,' across all manuscript submissions — a significant operational milestone. As one of the world's largest open-access publishers by volume, MDPI applying AI-powered integrity checks at scale represents a major shift in how AI is being embedded into editorial workflows. This is highly relevant to p2preview: it raises questions about the reliability of AI screening at volume, what 'ethics checks' actually catch, and whether this addresses or papers over MDPI's longstanding integrity criticisms.
