Starting university today expecting to build a career around being the first human to crack major mathematical problems is starting to look increasingly precarious.
Terrance Tao - “a crisis in our mathematical values and practices.”
Other mathematicians are calling for us to slow down the math breakthroughs.
This is a very anti human way of looking at it. The breakthroughs coming will serve all of humanity. Don’t let ego get in the way.
We’re working with an independent advisory group of mathematicians to help OpenAI responsibly share advances in AI and mathematics.
The group will advise on how we assess and communicate new mathematical results, uphold academic and professional standards, and build tools that support mathematical research and learning.
Through this work, we want mathematicians to be at the center of shaping how AI supports mathematical understanding and how its benefits reach the wider community.
