OpenAI’s feud with mathematicians is only escalating

TechCrunch · 1 month ago · 25 ● 21 sources

Twenty-five Fields Medal–winning mathematicians sent an open letter saying AI labs are threatening math research by racing to publish solutions and risking attribution and verification problems. They cited 25 signatories and described OpenAI pulling sponsorship of a CalTech math event this week after criticism. The dispute is escalating as labs face growing pressure over how AI-derived proofs are credited, documented, and shared, with fears that secrecy could replace open research.
