This post is part of our special coverage Syria Protests 2011Tao Chul-chulPeter Schulz, Hugo diminicopan, Marina Vyazovska and others 25Fields AwardsThe winner issued a joint statement yesterday and was led by Tao Chul-hyunmathArea AI THE SEVERE TARGET MISALIGNMENT, WARNS AI OF THE POTENTIALLY DEVASTATING IMPACT OF THE MATHEMATICAL RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC COMMUNITY ON THE WAY IN WHICH IT USES THE FAMOUS MATHEMATICAL DILEMMA AS A MODEL CAPACITY MEASUREMENT BENCHMARK。
THE STATEMENT NOTED THAT LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS HAD RECENTLY MADE RAPID PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING A NUMBER OF MATHEMATICAL OPENNESS ISSUES, BUT THERE WAS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN AI ' S OBJECTIVES AND THE CORE CLAIMS OF THE MATHEMATICS COMMUNITY。
The core value of mathematical research lies in understanding what is called the creation, the development of new concepts and tools and the transmission of knowledge, rather than simply producing the conclusion that "the proposition is true or not." If model outputs prove to be much faster than human understanding, they may lead to a large accumulation of conclusions that are difficult to digest, interpret and teach, and impact on mathematicians ' development and knowledge transfer systems。
IN ADDITION, SOME OF THE MATHEMATICAL RESULTS PROMOTED BY AI HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN HASTE AND FACE ACADEMIC NORMS SUCH AS LACK OF RIGOUR, INADEQUATE REFERENCES AND DISPUTES OVER THE RIGHT TO SIGN AND BELONG. THE STATEMENT DOES NOT NEGATE THE SUPPORTING VALUE OF AI, BUT EXPRESSLY OPPOSES THE COMPETITION FOR THE SIMPLIFICATION OF MAJOR MATHEMATICAL GUESSES TO MODEL RANKINGS。
The background to the joint statement is closely linked to recent technological developments. On 8 September, OpenAI announced that its ability to calculate an undisclosed internal model had answered one of the Millennium Award challenges, the existential and smoothness of the Navistox equation and published a 166-page paper, which was currently awaiting rigorous validation by the global mathematical community。
The Chief Research Officer of OpenAI, Mark Chen, and researcher Sébastien Bubeck, revealed that the study consumed millions of dollars in costing, accounting for about 1,000 times the previous mathematical results。
