The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...
Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
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's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...
Newly released national test scores show student achievement in math rising at the elementary school level—but not among ...
