25 Fields Medalists led by Terence Tao declare AI companies 'severely misaligned' with math

Gary Marcus amplifies a joint declaration signed by 25 Fields Medalists led by Terence Tao, published on Math and AI: while LLMs now solve major open math problems, AI companies treating them as benchmarks harms mathematics itself. The declaration argues famous problems gain value through community refinement over decades, that AI-company goals are 'severely misaligned' with the mathematical community, and frames this as part of broader alignment issues affecting science and society.
