Disadvantages of Designating Mathematicians for AI Output Releases

[This is a guest post by the Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, crossposted from their site. This blog post was initially written in a different file format and converted using AI. — T.] In our September 29 recommendations, we outlined an approach to the release of AI-generated mathematical output by AI labs. Since then, we have been asked by people from multiple labs and by several mathematicians about a specific aspect of the recommendations — that the development of human understanding following a release must remain organic and community led — and what it says about the question of the labs choosing specific mathematicians to participate in various ways in the release of their output. The purpose of this document is to clarify this point and to explain the reasoning behind our position on it. We welcome further feedback from the community and engagement with these arguments. In some past releases an AI company has designated mathematicians to receive the…
