Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) ...

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.

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

Bitcoin miners don't solve complex math problems - they guess numbers. While "solving mathematical puzzles" has become a common description of bitcoin mining, the process more closely resembles a ...
