Terence Tao suggests AI be barred from certain math problems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Mathematician Terence Tao has proposed that certain open mathematical problems should be designated as off-limits to AI solvers. He argues that these problems serve as valuable, "uncontaminated" benchmarks for assessing AI capabilities. Tao also believes that these problems are crucial for training mathematicians and developing novel techniques, and their value diminishes if AI can easily solve them after being trained on their solutions. AI

IMPACT Suggests a potential social norm to guide AI development and evaluation in mathematics.
