Mathematicians asked their field to stop working with OpenAI.
The Association for Human Mathematics asked mathematicians on Wednesday to stop working with OpenAI. The group, chaired by Fields medallist Terence Tao, says nobody asked OpenAI to solve those problems. It published the call on Tao's blog, and OpenAI has not answered publicly.
Why it mattersLabs need mathematicians to check AI proofs and to sit on their advisory panels. If that help stops, nobody independent is left to say which results hold.
