Jacob Tsimerman, a newly minted Fields Medalist, announced his move to OpenAI on the day of the award ceremony. He will work on AI safety, despite previously writing a paper classifying how AI could cause human extinction. His student recently used Claude Fable 5 to solve a 87-year-old conjecture, and now works at Anthropic.
Jacob Tsimerman, a Fields Medalist for his work on the André-Oort conjecture, announced at the ICM opening ceremony that he will join OpenAI to work on AI safety. He believes AI could surpass mathematicians in theorem proving within two years and has written a paper classifying AI-induced extinction scenarios. His former student, Levent Alpöge, now at Anthropic, used Claude Fable 5 to disprove the Jacobian conjecture, an 87-year-old problem. Tsimerman's X account has only one post, where he argues that problem-solving is nearly all of mathematics and that AI will soon dominate it. He also stated that he enjoys mathematics but sees the profession changing dramatically. His move to OpenAI is seen as a way to shape AI development rather than be left behind.
