OpenAI announced a nine-member Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI), made up of prominent mathematicians from institutions such as Stanford, Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge, several holding Fields Medals or MacArthur grants. The group will be hosted by Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study and is meant to advise OpenAI and other AI companies on how they present and release mathematical results, operating independently and unpaid, with the ability to comment publicly and issue unsolicited advice.
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.
