The reaction follows OpenAI's release of more than 700 mathematical manuscripts, including work on 16 problems Duminil-Copin was researching. To manage the rollout, OpenAI created the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI) as a bridge to the community, though AGMAI later clarified that its advisory role was not an endorsement of OpenAI's processes or a judgment of the published results' impact.

Math Researchers Abandon Openness After OpenAI's 700 Paper Release
AI9 days ago
Hugo Duminil-Copin says mathematicians may stop sharing research problems publicly to keep their work from being solved by artificial intelligence. The Fields medallist stated that the current climate of AI-generated solutions on open problems has discouraged the usual openness of the discipline. This shift has reached Northwestern University, where some students are questioning whether to remain in the field, prompting professor Antonio Auffinger to focus on talent retention.
