Twenty-five Fields Medalists warn frontier AI labs threaten research integrity

An open letter signed by twenty-five Fields Medalists accuses artificial intelligence laboratories of plagiarism, bypassing peer review, and threatening the human transmission of mathematical knowledge.

  • Twenty-five leading mathematicians, including multiple Fields Medalists, have signed an open letter warning that frontier AI labs are compromising the integrity of academic research.
  • The scholars accuse labs of using 'marathon inference' to claim mathematical breakthroughs without undergoing traditional peer-review processes.
  • The conflict intensified after NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster accused OpenAI of pressuring him to omit credit for Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge on a Navier-Stokes proof.
