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

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.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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.

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

These are math’s most famous open questions. Solve one, and you’ll win a $1-million prize—but it’s only happened once since ...

Researchers cracked a 50-year-old math problem scribbled by Richard Feynman over lunch. The equations show that humans are ...

OpenAI has once again made a big claim in the world of AI and mathematics. The company says that one of its latest AI reasoning models has successfully solved a famous geometry problem that remained ...
