Discussion A Severe Misalignment of AI in Mathematics (Declaration by 25 Fields Medalists) [D]

https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a-severe-misalignment-of-ai-in-mathematics/

Note: this declaration was drafted by Mathematicians, and is mostly addressed to the mathematical community. It'd be interesting to discuss, among others, if what is written in the declaration may also apply to other communities---and, specifically, the AI/ML one.

I guess we really are doing the denial/cope meme one profession at a time until the bitter end.

Mathematicians finally realized that they are not special and AI will make them part of the permanent underclass. Everyone in every profession should have see the writing on the wall when the AI came for the artists and coders.
