There is a new manuscript on the arXiv by Giulio Bresciani (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.01090.pdf) which shows that assuming the weak Bombieri--Lang conjecture, there cannot be a polynomial bijection from $\mathbb{Q} \times \mathbb{Q} \to \mathbb{Q}$. The author writes that: "Our strategy is essentially the one followed in a "polymath project" led by T. Tao, see [Tao19], hence this result should be credited to the polymath project as a whole."
