AI's Problem Solving Is a 'Profound Disruption' for the Math Community - CNET
Artificial intelligence has profoundly shaken up tech, education, entertainment and many aspects of everyday life. Now it’s come for math.
According to companies like OpenAI, the large language models they’re developing internally are solving an unprecedented number of longstanding mathematics problems with the goal to “push the frontier of human knowledge.“
But one thing these AI models apparently can’t do: read the room with the world’s most brilliant mathematical minds.

This week, Open AI released more than 700 math “preprints,” or preliminary research papers, on GitHub. The move further angered an academic math community already so up in arms that last month, 28 Fields Medal winners put up a website called Math and AI with an open letter accusing AI companies of having goals that are “severely misaligned” with those of mathematicians.
The Fields Medal is only awarded every four years (usually to three...
