Usual disclaimer: All PAMI-TC motions are advisory. For this one, it's up to the PCs to implement.

We did pass a motion for this in 2014: "It is strongly recommended that CVPR publish, for each accepted paper, the reviews, meta-reviews and author rebuttals in anonymous format. This information should be made publicly available in the CVF archive of CVPR papers."

I'm a guest on the latest episode of History Uncensored, chatting about the history of photographic manipulation and its relationship to DeepFakes today. Lots of social problems related to this stuff, for sure, but also some under-appreciated cultural aspects.
