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 ...

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 it matters.

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

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

Math illuminates how traffic flows, how our cells build proteins and even how to speed up medical imaging scans. Some worry ...

A breakthrough from an OpenAI model would have meant nothing without humans to make sense of it.

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.

OpenAI says its AI model solved a famous 80-year-old maths problem that puzzled experts for decades, marking a major ...

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

Google DeepMind, Google LLC’s artificial intelligence research unit, today unveiled two new AI models that are capable of advanced mathematical reasoning for solving complex math problems, which ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
