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

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.

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

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 model solved the famous unit distance problem, a question that had challenged mathematicians since 1946 ...

This marks one of the clearest examples so far of AI helping to solve a longstanding mathematical problem that had stumped the experts. Written for you by our author Paul Arnold, edited by Gaby Clark, ...

Penn Engineers have developed a new way to use AI to solve inverse partial differential equations (PDEs), a particularly challenging class of mathematical problems with broad implications for ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...

The most important takeaway is that intelligence cannot be reduced to a single score or trait. It is a complex combination of ...

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics makes the argument that teachers, principals, and district leaders must “stay up to date on current AI trends” to prepare students for the future. But ...
