Simons Foundation, Anthropic and OpenAI put $15 million into helping mathematicians judge AI-assisted results
The Simons Foundation announced a partnership with Anthropic and OpenAI under which the three will commit $15 million in combined funding and resources to help the mathematics community navigate the rapid rise of artificial intelligence. The foundation will manage and award funding, including through an open call for proposals, to support workshops and initiatives that help researchers evaluate recent AI-assisted results, learn and use new tools, share perspectives and shape collective standards for AI use. Anthropic and OpenAI will also provide AI tools and computing resources to a select group of researchers supported by the Simons Foundation, extending beyond mathematics to include basic science.
