Mathematicians urge a boycott after OpenAI releases 700-plus files
The Association for Human Mathematics is urging mathematicians to stop working with OpenAI, arguing that its release of more than 700 mathematical files ignored researchers’ recommendations and risks weakening trust in the field. The group says an advisory statement told frontier AI companies not to test advanced mathematical problems on internal models, but OpenAI released manuscripts claiming solutions to several high-profile problems anyway. Its objection is to the publication model and research process, not just the documents’ contents.
