Math for AI safety: an invitation for mathematicians

The article "Math for AI safety: an invitation for mathematicians" calls for new mathematical tools to ensure AI remains understandable, controllable, and cooperative. It outlines specific mathematical fields—logic, game theory, probability, algebra, representation theory, analysis, and geometry—each paired with an open problem tailored for mathematicians without AI safety background. The piece invites researchers to contribute to designing AI that is legible, steerable, and aligned with human values.
