In early September, OpenAI announced it successfully solved a significant mathematics problem that had stumped humans for nearly a century. This news left mathematicians reeling, and many expressed concern over what would be left for human endeavor as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly adept at unraveling complex issues.
Following this development, twenty five recipients of the Fields medal, often called the Nobel prize for mathematics, signed an open letter. They voiced their fears of a severe misalignment between AI companies and their field, highlighting the profound impact AI is likely to have on mathematics.
