  • 25 Fields Medalists Sign Declaration Criticizing AI Firms' Benchmark-Driven Math

    A group of 25 Fields Medal recipients, including Terence Tao and Yu Deng, issued a declaration on September 11, 2026, arguing that AI companies' use of mathematical problem-solving as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics. The signatories, spanning from 1978 laureate Pierre Deligne to 2026 laureate Yu Deng, cite a severe misalignment between AI firms' goals and the mathematical community's objectives, particularly criticizing the rushed announcement of results without proper papers or citations. The declaration, published on mathandai.org and Tao's blog, does not call for stopping AI but highlights concerns about the pace of AI-driven discoveries outpacing the community's ability to digest them.

  • Terence Tao warns AI may erode open science in mathematics

    Terence Tao, via Simon Willison, commented that AI is rapidly consuming open math problems as a non-renewable resource, and that even rumors of work on a problem can trigger massive AI-powered efforts to solve it first. He warned this may reduce incentives to share promising research directions, reversing centuries of open science tradition and harming the field's long-term future.

  • OpenAI denies seeing math prompts, admits possible use of de-identified data

    OpenAI has denied that its researchers or models saw prompts from mathematicians Buckmaster and Alpöge, but stated it cannot rule out that de-identified data from their product use helped improve its models. The denial follows accusations from mathematicians, including Andreas Thom, who publicly questioned the transparency of OpenAI's training data origins and whether researchers can trust the lab with unpublished results.
