ScienceMathematicians' dispute fuels fears AI could undermine science
OpenAI said its AI agents had solved a major problem involving the Navier–Stokes equations. Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster questioned whether research drafts stored in OpenAI’s Codex tool could have influenced the company’s work, while stressing he was not accusing anyone. OpenAI denied its team had seen the other researchers’ work and said Buckmaster’s prompts could not have influenced the system. The dispute has sharpened concerns about accuracy, originality and trust in AI-assisted science.
