Math society AHM urges boycott of OpenAI's 722 math papers, drawing Galileo parallels
burkov · x · 2026-10-09
ML researcher Andriy Burkov highlights a striking academic controversy: the Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) has urged mathematicians to refuse to interact with, review, or validate 722 math works published by OpenAI.
He draws a parallel to the Church banning works by Copernicus (1616), Kepler (1619), Galileo (1633) and Descartes (1663), framing the boycott as academic gatekeeping against AI-generated mathematics entering the scholarly record.
