The Association for Human Mathematics says OpenAI's new math documents show power, not scholarship, and urges mathematicians to stop working with the company (AHM)

The Association for Human Mathematics has expressed concerns that OpenAI's recently published math documents demonstrate computational power rather than scholarly rigor. According to the Association, these documents, generated by an unreleased artificial intelligence model, cover around 20 mathematical subfields and include notable contributions, such as work on the Riemann hypothesis.

OpenAI's documents, posted to GitHub, comprise 722 math papers. Some of these papers prove long-standing hypotheses, while others disprove proposed explanations or narrow down the possible solutions to complex, unsolved problems. The Riemann hypothesis, a 150-year-old conjecture about prime numbers, was partially addressed by OpenAI's AI model, which proved the quasi-Riemann hypothesis.

The Association for Human Mathematics has urged mathematicians to cease collaboration with OpenAI, citing concerns over the company's approach. This development comes as OpenAI faces lawsuits accusing it of illegal plagiarism, as reported by Techmeme.
