OpenAI’s release of mathematical findings draws concerns from experts

Summary

OpenAI published over 370 mathematical results on Tuesday, spanning algebra, theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. The Institute for Advanced Study said it does not endorse the practice, arguing AI can output arguments that humans cannot understand, verify or take responsibility for. Experts also worry the results were not properly vetted, with one NYU mathematician saying prompters may have supplied information that helped the model reach its results.
