In August, OpenAI convened around 40 mathematicians to discuss what to do if AI outpaces human capabilities in the field. Instead, it would be important for OpenAI to publish papers explaining the work so that mathematicians could absorb, digest, and use the results, according to Kra. “Apparently, that input was ignored,” she says. OpenAI has told people it plans to dump hundreds of the results it referenced in the August meeting on GitHub on Tuesday, people familiar with the plans tell WIRED. But the company doesn’t seem to have made much progress, mathematicians say.
