- Twenty-five Fields Medal winners published a joint declaration warning of a severe misalignment between AI companies and the mathematics community.
- Alex Shtf argues the internet misread Terence Tao's position: Tao wants to accelerate math with AI, but wants more AI research invested in making AI answers align with how humans seek and grasp mathematical results — mere "solving" is detrimental in his view; "solving and communicating" is the goal, as he laid out in a recent talk.
