ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

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.

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to tackle difficult problems.

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

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

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 ...

We’re seeing some new developments in AI models that are shedding light on one of the technology’s most prominent gaps – its relative inability to do math well. Some experts note that AI is ...

Artificial intelligence has attained an impressive series of feats—solving problems from the International Math Olympiad, conducting encyclopedic surveys of academic literature, and even finding ...

When I noticed my son using AI to solve his math homework, I didn't know how to feel. I then helped the school implement a ...

Across the front, it declares in italic script, “I’m too pretty to do math”. While some may see it as a joke, it is sparking ...
