created by IAS
The advisory group was not created by the Institute for Advanced Study itself. Its own announcement says the mathematicians formed an independent group that is hosted at IAS.
Full reasoning
The phrase "created by IAS" overstates IAS's role.
The advisory group's own website says it is an independent group and explains how it was formed: "This group came together after OpenAI approached some of its members about establishing an external advisory board. In agreement with OpenAI, they decided to instead create an independent group and invite the others to join." That description attributes creation to the mathematicians involved, not to the Institute for Advanced Study as an institution.
A guest post published by Terence Tao announcing the group likewise describes it as "hosted at the Institute for Advanced Study". So IAS is the host institution, but the available primary-source descriptions do not say IAS created the group.
So the accurate characterization is that the group is hosted at IAS and is independent, not that it was created by IAS.
