Prize-winning mathematician launches AI safety institute Jacob Tsimerman, a Fields Medal-winning mathematician who will soon join OpenAI's research team, has launched the Mathematical AI Safety Institute (MAISI) to develop mathematical foundations for AI safety, including definitions, measurements, and solutions. A prize-winning mathematician has launched a new institute dedicated to developing the “mathematical foundations” for AI safety. Jacob Tsimerman, who won the prestigious Fields Medal earlier this year and will soon join OpenAI’s research team, is heading up the newly created Mathematical AI Safety Institute MAISI . The institute aims to develop “definitions, measurements, and solution…
