AI companies must collaborate with researchers to ensure proper credit

When OpenAI announced it had solved one of mathematics' most famous unsolved problems - the Navier-Stokes equations - it sparked celebration but also serious questions about attribution and transparency. Just hours before, mathematicians at New York University had posted about their own partial solution, suggesting that interactions with OpenAI's tools may have contributed to the breakthrough, though the company denies this. The real issue here is that AI systems are like black boxes - they absorb vast amounts of human knowledge but don't track where ideas actually came from or how they were used, making it nearly impossible to properly credit the original sources. So tech companies need to be more transparent about data collection, switch from opt-out to opt-in data sharing, and academic institutions should carefully review their agreements to protect the scientific process itself.
