OpenAI forms independent math advisory group, but members say rollout was chaotic

OpenAI has set up an independent advisory group made up of elite professionals as it tries to repair its relationship with the mathematics community. But according to The Verge, mathematicians — including members of the group itself — said the process was disorganized and confusing. They also said the effort carried many of the same traits seen in OpenAI’s earlier rushed attempts to move into the math field. The development points to tension not over the stated goal of outreach, but over how the initiative was handled. The report cited criticism from within the group, making the complaints notable because they did not come only from outside observers.
