42 leading mathematicians warn that AI existential risk is real and urgent
42 leading mathematicians, including Fields Medalists, urge the Royal Society to warn the UK government about urgent AI existential risk.
An open letter signed by 42 mathematicians, including Fields Medal winners Martin Hairer, Peter Scholze, and Wendelin Werner, asks the president of the Royal Society to alert the UK government and media to existential risk from advanced AI. The signatories cite frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic solving open research problems including a Millennium Problem and performing at the level of top human mathematicians. They warn that similar rates of capability change could apply to cybersecurity, autonomous weapon control, biological and chemical agent development, and targeted misinformation.
