Responding to calls from mathematicians (such as AHM) to keep OpenAI out of math research, the author argues the better path is engagement: push companies like OpenAI to improve how they publish and verify mathematical results. Refusing to work with AI companies won't stop the technology from improving — it will only leave mathematicians with less influence over how it's developed and used.
