The move comes amid a growing backlash against the way AI companies have used their models to solve thorny mathematical problems, many of which had stumped humans for decades. The Association of Human Mathematicians (AHM) was created in the wake of controversial discoveries from AI companies, such as the release of 722 papers in one fell swoop by OpenAI earlier this month.
Membership now stretches to more than 1000 people, including professors and PhD students. Receive a weekly dose of discovery in your inbox.
