During a secret gathering in Berkeley, thirty leading mathematicians challenged a powerful AI chatbot, o4-mini, with extremely difficult, previously unsolved mathematical problems to test its reasoning abilities. To their surprise, this new type of large language model, trained on specialized data, demonstrated exceptional problem-solving skills, even quickly tackling complex, research-level questions that would take human experts much longer. Although the mathematicians ultimately found some questions the bot couldn't answer, they were stunned by its rapid progress and sophisticated approach, which included understanding related literature and attempting simpler versions of problems. The meeting highlighted the AI's remarkable capabilities and sparked discussions among attendees about the potential future role of mathematicians, possibly shifting towards generating novel questions for AI assistance.

According to VentureBeat, OpenAI is facing user criticism for not deleting temporary or deleted ChatGPT chats despite offering these options, due to a federal court order stemming from The New York Times copyright lawsuit. OpenAI has confirmed it's preserving these chats since mid-May 2025 but didn't disclose it to users until June 5th, although Enterprise and Edu users, and those with zero data retention agreements, are exempt. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, has proposed the concept of "AI privilege" to ensure confidentiality in conversations with AI, likening it to doctor-patient privilege. The company is appealing the court order, arguing it is overly broad and unnecessary. This situation highlights growing concerns about AI privacy and data rights, forcing a reassessment of how data from interactions with AI models is handled and governed, especially for enterprise users.
