Simons Foundation Launches $15M Effort to Help Mathematicians Navigate AI Era

The Simons Foundation, in partnership with Anthropic and OpenAI, announced a $15 million initiative to help mathematicians adapt to and effectively use artificial intelligence tools in their research. The funding will support workshops, proposals, and collaborative efforts that enable researchers to evaluate AI-assisted results, learn new tools, and establish community standards for AI use in mathematics. The foundation will also provide access to AI tools and computing resources from Anthropic and OpenAI to supported researchers.
