OpenAI alleged of stealing mathematicians work

OpenAI is accused of stealing mathematicians' work after two mathematicians spent a year solving a difficult math problem and fed their drafts into Codex. Days before their publication, OpenAI reportedly presented the same solutions. When questioned if their models, Sol and Astra, were trained on the mathematicians' private chats, OpenAI did not respond, raising concerns about data privacy and ownership of work created with AI assistance.

This report moves the dispute from general data privacy concerns to a specific allegation of OpenAI using private chats to preempt mathematicians' work.
