OpenAI accused of using mathematicians' unpublished work for problem-solving

Two mathematicians allege that OpenAI used their unpublished work, fed into OpenAI's Codex model, to solve a complex mathematical problem. The pair discovered OpenAI presented the same solution shortly before they were prepared to publish their findings. OpenAI has not directly addressed whether their models were trained on the mathematicians' private data, raising concerns about intellectual property and data privacy within large AI labs. AI

IMPACT Raises concerns about intellectual property and data privacy for researchers using AI models for their work.
