AHM Statement on OpenAI's October 6 Release of Mathematical Documents
13 hours ago
- OpenAI released a repository of manuscripts claiming to solve high-profile math problems while facing lawsuits for plagiarism and copyright infringement.
- Mathematicians did not request this work, and the Advisory Group on Mathematics and AI had advised against testing advanced problems on internal models.
- OpenAI ignored the advisory group's central premise, showing disregard for scientific research norms that ensure trust, ethics, and public interest.
- Mathematicians reject OpenAI's assertion that this release advances the field, urging skepticism about the publication model.
- Releasing over 700 files is a demonstration of power, not scholarship, and mathematicians are urged to discontinue work with OpenAI.
