AI benchmarking organization criticized for waiting to disclose funding from OpenAI
An organization developing math benchmarks for AI didn't disclose that it had received funding from OpenAI until relatively recently.
Epoch AI, a nonprofit primarily funded by Open Philanthropy, a research and grantmaking foundation, revealed on December 20 that OpenAI had supported the creation of FrontierMath. In a post on the forum LessWrong, a contractor for Epoch AI going by the username “Meemi” says that many contributors to the FrontierMath benchmark weren’t informed of OpenAI’s involvement until it was made public.
