Math Community Splits After AI Claims Navier–Stokes Proof; 8,000 Scholars Push Back
After OpenAI claimed an AI solution to the Navier–Stokes millennium problem, over 8,000 mathematicians led by about half of living Fields medalists signed an open letter decrying AI's misalignment in mathematics, which Conjecture Institute publicly rebutted. Observers describe math departments gripped less by celebration than vertigo.
