Twenty-five Fields medalists signed "A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics," arguing AI companies' goals conflict with conceptual understanding in mathematics. The author counters that the mathematics community itself has historically failed to nurture "students and ideas," citing Juliusz Schauder's murder under Nazi persecution, Olga Ladyzhenskaya's 1958 Fields Medal pass-over, Karen Uhlenbeck's hiring discrimination, and UC Berkeley's treatment of Julia Robinson and Yuval Peres. The letter was apparently prompted by OpenAI's announced Navier–Stokes solution.
