New Mathematical AI Safety Institute (MAISI) Named, Argues AI Safety Needs Math Like Nuclear Energy
suchenzang · x · 2026-09-12
An algebraic geometer of machine-learning models has been named executive director of the newly announced Mathematical AI Safety Institute (MAISI). The core idea: like nuclear power plants undergoing extensive mathematical analysis before their first test run, frontier AI systems should be rigorously analyzed mathematically before deployment.
