Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work

Sam Altman, chief executive officer of OpenAI, during a media tour of the Stargate AI data center. | Bloomberg via Getty Images Another researcher is challenging OpenAI about the data driving its increasingly impressive array of mathematical discoveries. Just days after a bitter row erupted over whether the company's models benefited from unpublished work, a second mathematician has come forward accusing the AI giant of unethical and "dishonest" behavior and a lack of transparency about the origins of its training data. In a series of posts on Mastodon, mathematician Andreas Thom raised conce...

OpenAI’s sly mathematical breakthrough sends a chill through academia

Open AI CEO Sam Altman speaks during the G20 Innovation Ministerial. | (Photo by Matt RAMEY / AFP via Getty Images) OpenAI's announcement Tuesday that it has solved one of mathematics' legendary Millennium Prize problems should have been a moment of triumph. The result is both an undeniable achievement and a striking demonstration of just how rapidly AI is transforming mathematics. But before it was even formally announced, the breakthrough had been complicated by the unusual circumstances that prompted OpenAI to pursue the problem: After hearing other researchers were making progress, it see...

ControlAI’s Connor Leahy on why superintelligence is ‘not a weapon, it’s an adversary’

AI companies have been talking about superintelligent AI like it’s inevitable, but recent safety incidents like OpenAI’s Hugging Face breach are demonstrating the potential dangers of deploying AI systems that are more capable than humans. So what happens when we can’t reliably control what these systems do? On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan is joined by Connor Leahy, an AI researcher, entrepreneur, and now the U.S. Executive Director of […]

More than 1 in 10 chance AI ‘could kill all humans,’ says Anthropic safety lead after colleague quits

A senior Anthropic safety researcher has said there is more than a 10 percent chance artificial intelligence "could kill all humans" by the end of the decade, just hours after a colleague resigned over fears the AI lab and its rivals are carelessly racing to build "superhuman systems" they cannot control. In a post on X announcing his departure, Jacob Coxon, a researcher who has trained AI systems at Anthropic, said he had quit the company over its lax approach to safety. Coxon, who previously trained systems for OpenAI, accused the two AI companies of "racing straight to self-improving super...

Drama swirls around OpenAI’s legendary mathematical milestone

OpenAI says it found a solution to a major math problem that has remained unsolved for around 90 years, as reported earlier by The New York Times and Wired. In a blog post on Tuesday, OpenAI announced that it discovered a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem - which relates to the flow of liquid and gas - using an internal AI model more powerful than the newly released GPT-6 Astra alongside 10,000 concurrent agents. The Navier-Stokes problem is one of seven Millennium Prize Problems, each of which comes with a $1 million reward for solving. OpenAI says it started training the internal AI mod...

ChatGPT Sketch turns your bad drawings into detailed AI images

I used ChatGPT and its Sketch tool to make this AI-generated image of a cat. OpenAI announced ChatGPT Images 2.5 on Tuesday and is adding a new way to tell ChatGPT what you want it to make an image of: by drawing a doodle. With a new feature called Sketch, you can just draw something right inside ChatGPT and then tell ChatGPT how you want it to make an image based on that sketch. You can activate the Sketch feature by typing @Sketch into your chat box, and a window will pop up where you can make your drawing. I briefly tested it, and it successfully turned my bad doodle of a cat that I drew w...

Meta bets on AI agent Muse to catch up in AI race

Meta is making another push to bring artificial intelligence to the masses with Muse, a personal assistant it says can put AI in the hands of virtually anyone. The product is the latest step in a multi-billion dollar strategy overhaul designed to revitalize the company's ailing position in the AI race and help it catch up to rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Muse is a "personal AI agent" designed to help out with everyday tasks and projects, like online shopping, sending emails, and planning a trip. Once given a goal, Meta says Muse can work on its own, opening a browser, filling out...
