AI is now helping produce research-level mathematics, but experts say verifying proofs not generating them is becoming the ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

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

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 second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got six or seven of the ten questions right.

Fields Medal team and global mathematicians stress the value of following proofs step by step amid rapid AI advances ...

With automated proof-checkers, a problem can be broken up into small chunks, solved bit-by-bit, then reassembled with confidence that every piece is correct. For some, this heralds a new area in ...

The transcript explores Goldbach’s conjecture, the simple-looking claim that every even number greater than 2 can be written ...
