A bust-up between mathematicians fuels fears that AI could undermine science
A dispute over OpenAI's claim that its AI solved a major Navier–Stokes problem, after a rival mathematician raised concerns about whether his work stored in OpenAI's Codex tool fed into it, highlights worries about AI's effect on scientific trust. The BBC report also examines AI-generated errors and fake citations in journals, contested claims about DeepMind's materials research, and efforts by publishers to screen submissions.
