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,专注于AI安全研究。他曾发表论文探讨AI可能导致人类灭绝的“omnicide”情景,并认为数学家能为AI安全做出贡献。前DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis评论称,AI在数学上的进展尚未达到AlphaGo“第37步”那样的根本性突破,但未来可能实现。

Fields Medalist who published a paper on AI-driven human extinction now works for OpenAI 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. Tsimerma
