EXCERPT:
Last month many mathematicians were shocked by OpenAI’s announcement that artificial intelligence had solved geometry’s famous “unit distance” problem.
For some, the achievement was exciting. But researchers also worry that AI technology, if left unchecked, will change their field for the worse. To address those fears, a group of mathematicians, computer scientists, and math historians have released guidelines to prevent AI from steamrolling their discipline.
Among their most important prescriptions: disclose the use of AI in research, ensure all papers are peer-reviewed and level the playing field between academia and for-profit companies through, for instance, legal resources and public funding.
