719 Proofs and No One to Check Them: OpenAI’s Math Release as an Oversight Test On October 6, OpenAI published hundreds of mathematical papers produced by an unreleased internal AI model, including a claimed proof of the Unique Games Conjecture. None has been peer reviewed, and only about 42% of the main results have machine-checkable proofs. The release is one of the first large-scale cases of an AI system producing expert-level work faster than experts can check it. AI safety researchers call this problem “scalable oversight.” In this episode What OpenAI released: 719 manuscripts in 372 families, from about...
