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 ...

The second batch of “First Proof” problems is meant to evaluate AI’s usefulness for research-level math. The best model got ...

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.

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 ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

Mathematicians have considered how to watch every corner of a space—but soccer adds moving players, blocked views and ...

A new study reveals that human mathematicians have surpassed AI in solving unpublished high-level math problems, challenging ...

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.

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.
