Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.
In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...
OpenAI said one of its internal models had made a breakthrough with a challenge first posed by Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős in 1946. Experts say this result could indicate that AI is capable of ...
OpenAI claims its reasoning model disproved a geometry conjecture unsolved since 1946 — and this time, the mathematicians who exposed its last embarrassing claim are backing it up.
Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.
In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...
