OpenAI wants to consult elite mathematicians about how to not fumble again

OpenAI announced the formation of an independent panel of mathematicians to assist in improving its interactions with mathematical research. This move follows a reputational crisis due to controversial mathematical results, prompting the company to seek expert guidance. The panel aims to advise on how new results are presented and how to engage with the mathematics community, catching many researchers by surprise. While some view this as a positive first step, there are still fundamental questions about the panel's actual functions.
