42 top mathematicians warn AI existential risk is urgent

42 leading mathematicians, including fields medal winners martin hairer, peter scholze, and wendelin werner, have signed an open letter warning of existential risks from advanced ai. they cite the rapid progress of ai models from openai and anthropic in solving open research problems, including one of the seven millennium problems. the group warns that ai capabilities may develop superhuman abilities in areas like cybersecurity, autonomous weapon control, and targeted misinformation. they emphasize that estimates from ai labs putting existential risk above ten percent should not be dismissed as 'hype'.
