OpenAI contributes $5M to Simons Foundation initiative for mathematicians studying AI results
OpenAI announced a $5 million contribution to a new Simons Foundation initiative helping mathematicians examine, understand, and build on AI-produced results, including OpenAI's recently published work. The funding will support workshops, conferences, and special programs, and OpenAI will provide model access and computing resources to Simons-supported researchers. The announcement extends a Simons Foundation effort that also includes AnthropicAI. The posts emphasize research support; no safety-specific claims are made.

- We want to support the mathematics community in turning progress in AI into deeper human understanding and new discoveries. To support that goal, we are contributing $5 million to a new Simons Foundation initiative to help mathematicians examine, understand, and build on results produced by AI, including the results we recently published. The funding, managed and awarded by the @SimonsFdn will support workshops, conferences, and special programs. We will also provide access to our models and computing resources to Simons Foundation-supported researchers.How can the math community forge the best path forward in the AI age? We're committing $15M to workshops and initiatives — plus free AI computing resources for foundation-supported researchers — through new partnerships with @AnthropicAI and @OpenAI: bit.ly/4zpfIbW #math #science #AI798 likes · 84 reposts
