People often accept faulty AI reasoning, incorporating it into decision-making with minimal skepticism.
"The smartest people I know are investing fortunes, to be specific, they're investing their fortunes in building and training these AI models. That's how important [and] extraordinary they are," he said. "I think by and large we are going to live much better lives, healthier, longer lives, eat better food, live in better houses. It should be a much better world because these tools are so enormously powerful [although] some of the things they will do are a little bit shocking."
A few months before the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in July, a three-person team at OpenAI made a long bet that they could use the competition's brutally tough problems to train an artificial intelligence model to think on its own for hours so that it was capable of writing math proofs. Their goal wasn't simply to create an AI that could do complex math but one that could evaluate ambiguity and nuanceskills AIs will need if they are to someday take on many challenging real-world tasks.
