Terence Tao, a renowned mathematician, has publicly expressed concerns about the rapid, unchecked acceleration of AI development by model companies. He argues that while AI is rapidly solving complex mathematical problems, the crucial steps of understanding, disseminating, and integrating these proofs into broader knowledge are being neglected. This "proof indigestion" could stifle mathematical creativity and lead to data pollution for future AI training. In response to these concerns, and a related protest from 25 Fields Medalists, OpenAI has established an advisory group to help manage the review and dissemination of AI-driven mathematical research, though it will not advise on internal progress.
