## AI 摘要

新晋菲尔兹奖得主、多伦多大学数论学家 Jacob Tsimerman 加入 OpenAI，从事 AI 安全研究。他曾于去年发表关于 AI 可能导致人类灭绝的“omnicide events”论文，并认为 AI 很快将在数学研究上超越人类。前 DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis 则评价 AI 最新数学进展是进步，但尚未达到 AlphaGo “Move 37”式的根本性突破。

Jacob Tsimerman, the newly awarded Fields Medalist, is joining OpenAI to work on AI safety. The number theorist from the University of Toronto said AI is an extremely transformative technology and society needs to put far more effort into safety. Mathematicians can contribute a lot, he argued, since AI still runs mostly on an empirical basis with few guarantees about how these systems actually work.

Tsimerman also published a paper on "omnicide events" last year, scenarios where AI could contribute to human extinction. The position is debated among experts. Panic isn't the right response, but we need to honestly assess the risks, Tsimerman said. He's convinced AI will soon outperform humans in math research.

Former DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis also weighed in on AI's latest math advances. He views them as progress but not yet a fundamental breakthrough like the legendary "Move 37" by DeepMind's AlphaGo. For that, AI would need to crack problems like the Millennium Prize Problems. OpenAI's new model, Astra, has failed at those too, but it might be only a matter of time. "I don't see any reason why not," he says.
