AI Company Accused of Stealing Math Research from OpenAI Rival

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Professor Tristan Buckmaster has publicly accused an AI company of attempting to steal his research. He claims the company tried to gazump him and his partner, Levent Alpöge, after learning they were close to solving a significant problem. Buckmaster also stated the company offered to credit him for the work if he removed his partner's name. This situation has led Buckmaster to question the future of academic research, particularly concerning credit, hiring, and PhDs, suggesting that mathematicians may need to stop publicly sharing their work to avoid tipping off AI companies.
