OpenAI wants to consult elite mathematicians about how to not fumble again
Published
What's this about?
After turning a string of spectacular mathematical results into a reputational crisis, OpenAI is consulting human mathematicians to help it figure out a less disastrous path forward. On Monday, the company announced a new independent panel of mathematicians tasked with advising it and other AI compa

Panel 1
*Alex, Sam, and Robin are sitting in a cozy living room, surrounded by books and a whiteboard filled with equations. Alex is holding a tablet with the latest OpenAI news.*
Alex: Imagine OpenAI consulting mathematicians to avoid another blunder. They must be feeling a bit like a physicist calling on a plumber!
Panel 2
*Robin is leaning back, twirling a pen with a mischievous grin, while Sam is staring at the ceiling, shaking his head.*
Robin: So, the geniuses at OpenAI are asking for help from the number crunchers. I guess even AI needs a little human touch now and then.
Panel 3
*Sam is looking at Alex, who is now sketching something on the whiteboard. Sam’s expression is a mix of amusement and resignation.*
Sam: It’s like a car company asking bike mechanics for advice. But hey, if it works, we’ll have a new era of AI and math harmony. Here’s to hoping they don’t crash and burn this time.
