Computational Biologist Lior Pachter Publishes a Direct Rebuttal to the Fields Medalists' AI-Mathematics Declaration
Lior Pachter (Bits of DNA)·low signal
Pachter's September 12 post 'Align AI and mathematics to something else' argues against the 25-signatory declaration from Fields medalists about AI in mathematics, from inside the research community rather than from a lab. It is the first substantive counter-argument to a document that has so far been treated as a consensus statement, and it makes the mathematics-community pushback a two-sided argument rather than a united front.
