Mathematician slams OpenAI for getting free advice via AGMAI committee
littmath · x · 2026-09-24
Mathematician Yiannis concludes his feedback to the AGMAI committee with a sharp critique: the committee is effectively shielding OpenAI from reputational damage while offering expert advice for free, letting the company shift blame to an independent body.
His position: OpenAI should pay for advice and own the outcomes. If it cannot digest and properly present its models' mathematical proofs, it should admit so and invest in human mathematicians — e.g., hiring 100 postdocs — rather than promoting the narrative that its machines will replace humans while freely extracting help from scholars.
