OpenAI claims AI solved 90-year-old maths problem; researcher alleges idea theft
OpenAI has announced that an unreleased AI model solved the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, a longstanding Millennium Prize challenge in mathematics. The feat reportedly involved around 10,000 AI agents working collaboratively over 88 hours. However, NYU professor Tristan Buckmaster has accused OpenAI of leveraging his unpublished research approach, alleging his draft work fed into the company's Codex model over several months. OpenAI has denied deliberately accessing private user data but acknowledged it cannot fully rule out that anonymised training data may have influenced its models. The controversy raises broader questions about data privacy and intellectual ownership in AI development.
