What OpenAI’s latest controversy tells us about the future of math
SMRTR summary
OpenAI claims to have solved one of mathematics' most prestigious unsolved problems, the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, using an internal AI model running 10,000 agents at a cost of millions of dollars. The achievement is overshadowed by accusations that OpenAI built on uncredited work by two researchers. Experts warn that as AI monopolizes major mathematical breakthroughs, human mathematicians may lose the exploratory process that drives the field forward.
