Terence Tao's Blog Announces Advisory Group on Mathematics and AI

The Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

Nine top mathematicians, including Terence Tao, Edward Witten, and Timothy Gowers, formed an independent advisory group hosted at IAS. They will advise AI companies on how to interact with mathematical research—unpaid and without decision-making power. Their first task: OpenAI claims its internal model produced many significant math results, and the group will recommend how to release them responsibly. The post does not disclose what those results are or when they might appear.

Why it matters: Nine Fields Medalists and top mathematicians form an independent advisory group—unpaid, no endorsement power—and have already started reviewing OpenAI's math results. It has a concrete mechanism, name recognition, and industry signal value, hitting all three HKR axes. The dedu...
