Expert ‘shepherds’ will decide how best to share the latest breakthroughs in computer science and physics.
Key facts
- The fact that they handpick the group is a disaster,” Andreas Karch, a physics professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told The Verge — It is exactly the kind of gatekeeping the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence (AGMAI), a group of experts OpenAI had previously pledged to consult on how to share its findings
- I am fine with them releasing the problems as they did today,” said Constantin Kogler, a researcher at the Institute for Advanced Study, welcoming the more manageable batch of three results compared
- My sense is that for any approach, there is going to be someone who is upset,” said Stanford mathematician Jared Duker Lichtman
Summary
On Monday, OpenAI announced impressive breakthroughs in mathematics, computer science, and physics, along with what the company says is an evolving approach to communicating its findings. It has been a turbulent few months between OpenAI and mathematicians, who are still grappling with the hundreds of preprints unceremoniously dumped on them at the start of October. ‘Pure insanity’: Mathematicians will need years to make sense of OpenAI’s latest drop. All three results concern some of the most consequential unsolved problems in mathematics, computer science, and physics.
