AGMAI — Advisory Group on Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence
An independent group of nine mathematicians — including Timothy Gowers, Martin Hairer, Edward Witten, Ravi Vakil and Melanie Matchett Wood — formed to advise AI companies on how mathematical results produced by AI models should be presented and released. The site states its purpose, its members, and its current task: advising OpenAI on how to release a large batch of mathematical results the company says its internal model produced. There is an open form for anyone in the mathematical community to send input.

A Call for Control of Frontier AI Models
A short joint statement issued in September 2026 by heads of state and government — launched by President Alexander Stubb of Finland and Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre of Norway, with 22 leaders from 20 countries signed on at launch. It asks for three things: mandatory pre-deployment testing and independent evaluation by qualified evaluators with real access; coordinated common standards and shared reporting of serious safety incidents, with scientific capacity available to countries in every region; and for UN member states to explore an international institution that could set standards, verify compliance and convene states when capability thresholds are crossed.
