OpenAI's math paper faces criticism for attribution and framing

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

OpenAI has published a paper detailing ten recent mathematical advancements, including the discovery of a non-sofic group. However, the framing of their blog post has been criticized for downplaying prior research and lacking proper attribution. Specifically, a key proposition in the paper appears to be a generalization of work by Kun and Thom from 2019, which contradicts OpenAI's claim of solving problems that have seen no progress for a decade. This oversight is particularly ironic given OpenAI's stated respect for the Leiden declaration on AI and mathematics, which emphasizes correct attribution. AI
