Responsible Release of AI-Generated Mathematics
A group of mathematicians is calling for AI labs to stop testing advanced mathematical problems on proprietary, inaccessible models. They argue that mathematical progress relies on peer review and human understanding, which are undermined by 'black box' AI outputs.
Why it matters
This addresses the tension between rapid AI development and the foundational scientific requirement for transparency and verification.
At present, some frontier AI labs are testing advanced mathematical problems on proprietary models that remain inaccessible to the broader scientific community. Our recommendations are formulated with this practical context in mind. However, ideally, they would not do so. We want to state clearly from the start: we do not endorse this practice, and we ask them to stop testing advanced mathematical problems on proprietary models.
