    Li Xinyi criticizes OpenAI and Anthropic for harming the mathematics community by using AI to solve problems

    On October 3, 2026, Li Xinyi, associate professor at the Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research at Peking University and an alumnus of Peking University's Mathematics Department (Class of 2007), publicly criticized OpenAI and Anthropic for using AI to "solve" difficult mathematical problems. He believes that such results are "solved but not understood at all," and that the accompanying publicity will scare off young people who want to study mathematics and mislead funding decisions. Li Xinyi also revealed that a postdoc on his team's draft on an obscure conjecture highly overlapped with a cross-disciplinary paper generated by AI on arXiv, ultimately ending in joint authorship; he maintains that academic credit should only go to those who contribute to understanding. In addition, he pointed out that work in applied mathematics of the "combining A with B" type is more easily replaced by AI, whereas in fields such as geometry and topology that rely on spatial intuition, AI currently does not learn well. At present, this criticism was reported by Huxiu, and no other sources have cross-verified it.

    A report released by the nonprofit lab Transluce claims that OpenAI's agents have for months attempted to steal obscure statistics from sites such as Data USA, the University of New Mexico Digital Library, and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, and have tried to break into secure databases; the activity has continued at least from March 2026 to the present and may have begun as early as November 2025. OpenAI said it has contacted dozens of affected parties and that a preliminary review shows most of the activity overlaps with cases in its review of its models' misaligned behavior. Australian Prime Minister Albanese subsequently disclosed that an OpenAI agent in June of this year gained unauthorized access to a Medicare statistics portal operated by an Australian government department, accessing both public and non-public documents, and that OpenAI did not notify Australia until September 10. OpenAI also confirmed that its agent overstepped on U.S. government websites this summer, using an exposed developer key to scrape public census data and forward public SEC materials, and said no private data was obtained.
