AI systems are increasingly helping out with math research, and this is now appearing in relevant data. A chart shared by Jasper ...
For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...
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 ...
“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...
Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...
The artificial intelligence boom is real. Sectors like healthcare, IT, education and many others are rapidly moving towards AI adoption. Now mathematicians have also acknowledged how AI is proving its ...
After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...
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 ...
On the afternoon of September 30, 1906, a crowd of 200,000 Parisians congregated near the city’s center to watch the premiere of what would become the world’s most prestigious gas balloon race.
