An NYU mathematician has accused OpenAI of unethical conduct in relation to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem, one of the most prestigious unsolved math problems with a $1 million Clay Mathematics Institute bounty. The claim suggests OpenAI may have improperly handled or claimed credit for work on this career-defining problem.
Background
The Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem is one of the seven Clay Mathematics Institute Millennium Prize Problems, offering $1 million for a solution. It concerns whether fluid dynamics equations always produce smooth, well-behaved solutions.
