For a while now there has been very little incentive for providing these alongside the paper, and I don't see why exactly 'AI' would change this. I could even see how making it vague to be harder to test with LLMs could be profitable for citation hackers.

You can imagine using AI agents to tag papers that don’t have code or similar work attached and just filtering them out.

The Chinese open source community has made a lot of incentive to make research reproducible for example. The most reproducible works from I.e. deepseek get widely cited and adopted.

I don’t think we can just say “AI” and it’s fixed but with deliberate effort there’s reason to be optimistic.
