Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

Mathematics is a fundamental science, and novel discoveries may result in a wide range of applications. That makes the promise of these capabilities substantial, and their responsible development and deployment important beyond mathematics itself. We recognize this and are working through how broader deployment of math-related AI capabilities can be done responsibly.

In a recent open letter “ A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics ⁠ (opens in a new window) ,” mathematicians raise concerns about the negative externalities of solving open problems as a benchmark for new AI systems.

Their criticisms highlight the need for thoughtful engagement of AI companies with the math community. To that end, we’re working with mathematicians who have established an independent mathematics advisory group. This group will serve as a bridge to the mathematical community and broader public, giving mathematicians a voice in how we move forward.
