OpenAI creates independent advisory group on mathematics and artificial intelligence
OpenAI began training a new internal model on August 28. The model has already solved the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize problem and more than 100 other long‑standing open problems across mathematics, surprising the company’s own mathematicians. In response, OpenAI announced the formation of an independent Mathematics Advisory Group to guide how these breakthroughs are reviewed, communicated,…
Key points
- OpenAI began training an internal model on Aug 28 that has solved Navier‑Stokes and over 100 other open math problems.
- The company announced an independent Mathematics Advisory Group with nine leading mathematicians, hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study.
- The advisory group will review, coordinate, and publicly comment on OpenAI’s math‑related AI results, without being paid or guiding internal research pace.
The advisory group, hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study, includes nine leading mathematicians – François Charles, Camillo De Lellis, Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Nikhil Srivastava, Ulrike Tillmann, Ravi Vakil, Edward Witten and Melanie Matchett Wood. Members will not be paid by OpenAI, will operate independently, and will advise on the significance of results, coordination of dissemination, and academic standards, but will not influence the pace of OpenAI’s internal research.
