Mathematicians urged to cut ties with OpenAI over mass file release

A group of mathematicians is urging colleagues to stop working with OpenAI, arguing that the company's release of more than 700 files at once reflects a display of power rather than genuine scholarship. The statement calls for a return to science centred on human understanding, and a statement page has been set up collecting signatories.
Why now: The release of the large batch of files by OpenAI has sparked a backlash in the mathematics community about corporate influence over research.
Evidence
- "Releasing over 700 files at once is not a demonstration of scholarship, but a demonstration of power. We urge mathematicians to discontinue their work with OpenAI and to return to a vision of science that centers human understanding." https://www. ahmath.org/statements #… · christianjaeh@mathstodon.xyz · 3
