This follows a warning from UCLA professor Terence Tao, who stated that AI's proficiency in mathematics is creating a crisis in mathematical values and practices. While some mathematicians speculate on which million-dollar problem AI will target next, others like Steven Strogatz report that these breakthroughs have had a seismic impact on their professional work.Why it mattersThe conflict centers on whether AI-generated solut https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/the-mathematician-crushed-between-openai-and-anthropic-over-a-math-problemhttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/the-mathematician-crushed-between-openai-and-anthropic-over-a-math-problem#u65561Fri, 11 Sep 2026 22:45:27 +0000OpenAI claims it solved the 90-year-old Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem in 88 hours. This announcement has triggered a conflict with the mathematical community. Twenty-five leading mathematicians signed an open letter stating AI labs threaten their intellectual work, while others criticize AI-generated math as slop. The tension escalated as OpenAI withdrew from a Caltech math hackathon following these criticisms. Additionally, a mathematician has accused OpenAI of being dishonest regarding its training data.Why it mattersThe Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of fluid substance
