OpenAI said its AI resolved over 100 open maths problems. Mathematicians will judge.
OpenAI formed an Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, TechCrunch reported.
OpenAI says its internal model has "resolved more than 100 additional open problems across most areas of mathematics". It had earlier published what it says is a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize problem.
Timothy Gowers and Martin Hairer are among the nine initial members. Edward Witten is also on the group. Members are unpaid and can go public with their views. They control their own membership and will assess the significance of new results and coordinate their release.
OpenAI's blog also says the group "will not be responsible for advising us on how to pace our internal progress on mathematics." The Institute for Advanced Study said members have "no decision making power at any AI company."
The group follows an open letter from 25 Fields Medal winners criticising AI labs for racing to solve famous problems, TechCrunch reports. Camillo De Lellis is the only member who signed it.
Who in your company checks the AI's answer before it counts as solved?
