AGMAI calls OpenAI's release a first step, not an endorsement
Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial IntelligenceIndependent mathematical advisory group responding to the release
The group called public release a first step and discussions constructive, while withholding endorsement of OpenAI's process.
“AGMAI’s advisory role should not be interpreted as a judgment of the impact of these results or an endorsement of the process by which OpenAI obtained them.”
Official statement
Where this statement fits
Did OpenAI improperly pressure mathematicians over authorship and credit?
Tristan Buckmaster describes pressure over authorship and publication during discussions about competing AI-assisted mathematics results. Sébastien Bubeck disputes that characterization and says the proposed authorship concerned OpenAI's own proof. His apology for career-related wording does not settle the disagreement. Researchers and commentators divide over whether the negotiations were appropriate, while raising a separate dispute about the treatment of unpublished user research.
