OpenAI posts 700 AI-generated math proofs without named human authors, sparking backlash

OpenAI uploaded more than 700 AI-generated mathematical manuscripts to a public preprint repository in early October, claiming new mathematical results pending verification. Mathematicians have criticized the papers as sloppy and hard to verify, noting no human author is credited to take responsibility for the arguments, and OpenAI has not signed the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics, which calls for clear citation and disclosure practices.

Top mathematicians form advisory group on AI's impact on mathematics research

A group of prominent mathematicians, including Timothy Gowers, Ravi Vakil and Edward Witten, has launched the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, based at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study and online at agmai.org. The group aims to advise AI companies on how they present and release mathematical results and to serve as a communication channel between the mathematics community and the AI industry.
