Calegari calls for rethinking how math is judged and taught in the AI era
What happened
Frank Calegari says AI has changed how hard math research is and how much it produces, and that hiring, journals and graduate training should adjust. He points to OpenAI's release of more than 700 research papers on October 6, credits the math contributions, and criticizes the writing, attribution and some erroneous results. He suggests judging work on the assumption it may have had AI help, adding in-person interviews to hiring, raising the writing and thinking bar for papers, and teaching graduate students both breadth of knowledge and technical skill.

Frank Calegari主张，AI改变了数学研究的难易与产出方式，学界应调整招聘、期刊和研究生培养，更重视理解、选题与结构性探索。他以OpenAI于10月6日发布超过700篇研究论文为背景，既肯定其中的数学贡献，也批评写作、归属标注和部分结果的错误。他建议将所有成果按可能有AI辅助来评价，加强招聘中的现场交流，提高论文的写作与思想要求，并在研究生教育中兼顾广度和技术能力。
