The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...

Whenever I get coffee with a mathematician, I always ask which of the seven Millennium Problems they think will be next to ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, what happens to the idea of human genius? That question is no longer ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the planar unit distance problem. The question posed by the legendary Hungarian ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

"Current automated techniques can produce plausible but unreliable (or even incorrect) arguments which are difficult to ...
