42 Mathematicians Urge Royal Society to Warn Government and Media About AI Existential Risk

Forty-two mathematical fellows, including Fields Medal winners Martin Hairer, Peter Scholze, and Wendelin Werner, have signed an open letter urging the Royal Society to warn the UK government and media about existential risks from advanced AI. The letter follows recent breakthroughs in which leading models solved open research problems, including a Millennium Problem. None of the signatories are affiliated with AI companies. The group warns that AI labs' estimates of existential risk above ten percent must not be dismissed as hype, and that by the time the situation becomes obvious to the public, it may be too late to act.
