Over 1,000 mathematicians worldwide form AHM to resist AI: will not work for AI companies, will not let knowledge be scraped

Global Top Thousand Mathematicians Join Forces to Boycott AI: Won't Work for AI Companies, Won't Let Knowledge Be Scraped Kuai Technology Download the Client Exclusive First Look October 23, 2026 19:11:12 From Henan Updated October 23, 2026 20:37:18

Kuai Technology October 23 news, the pace of development of artificial intelligence technology is getting faster and faster. In response to the current situation of excessive penetration of the AI industry into the field of basic scientific research, many top mathematicians around the world have chosen to step forward and join forces in a boycott.

The core background for their choice is that the current practice of many AI companies directly using large models to tackle difficult mathematical problems is triggering increasingly strong opposition within the industry. Many of the problems for which AI quickly reached conclusions had previously troubled human mathematicians for decades.

After some AI companies successively released a number of controversial mathematics-related research results, the Human Mathematicians Association AHM was formally established. This association has now gathered more than 1,000 members, covering university mathematics professors, doctoral students, and other types of researchers. Earlier this month, the American artificial intelligence research center OpenAI's move of releasing 722 mathematics research papers at once directly pushed the related controversy to its peak.

The well-known mathematician Terence Tao of the University of California, Los Angeles, publicly stated last month that the production method of this type of research results, as well as the crude practice of directly throwing mass-produced content at the entire mathematics community, is very likely to damage the development foundation of mathematics as a basic discipline from the root.

Even though in many scenarios these AI-generated results, after formal verification, can be judged to be reliable and correct solutions, their presentation is often obscure and hard to understand, and the writing logic is very hasty. The entire mathematics community finds it difficult both to understand the complete derivation process and to extract valuable meaning and reusable underlying logic from them.

Many mathematicians who joined the association said bluntly that joining the Human Mathematicians Association itself is a way of publicly expressing their understanding of mathematics as a discipline. Mathematics is a craft that requires long-term polishing; the entire exploration process is inseparable from arduous study and deep thinking, and the sense of accomplishment brought by the final output is also an indispensable part of the research journey.

Many mathematicians participating in the boycott have stated that they absolutely do not want to shut down the part of the brain that actively thinks and directly hand over their original research work to machines. If they cannot fully understand a research result and cannot personally confirm the correctness of its derivation logic, they are absolutely unwilling to publish such AI mass-produced content as formal research results.
