I've written a blog post responding to the letter about maths and AI signed by 25 Fields medallists. As with the Leiden Declaration, I didn't sign it, but I agree with much of it and welcome its existence.
I have signed a letter from 42 fellows and foreign members of the Royal Society to Paul Nurse, the president of the society, concerning the need to treat the serious risks of AI as an emergency.
I write about this in more detail in a blog post with a guest contribution from Isaac Rajagopal, a student at MIT on whose work ChatGPT built, who gives his assessment of the level of mathematical ability displayed by the model.
I've recently got in on the act of getting AI to solve open problems in mathematics. More precisely, I gave some questions asked by Melvyn Nathanson to ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to which I have been given access, and it answered them. 🧵
