AI与数学：加州理工学院数学马拉松引发争议

could be steamrolled by large tech firms. “We have now seen that even the rumor of someone working on a problem can trigger a massive amount of AI-powered effort to flatten it,” University of California, Los Angeles mathematician Terence Tao wrote on the social media platform Mastodon. Those tensions threatened an upcoming Caltech event meant to bring the AI and math worlds together. Spurred by OpenAI’s August announcement that its Astra model had made advances in 10 open problems, Caltech undergraduates had organized a “mathathon” in which mathematicians would attack open problems with $2 million in computing credit donated by OpenAI and Anthropic. More than 1000 people signed up. …
