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

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.

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.

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

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 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 ...

We've all been there: staring at a math test with a problem that seems impossible to solve. What if finding the solution to a problem took almost a century? For mathematicians who dabble in Ramsey ...

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

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao's breakthrough is promising, the problem isn't ...

Among high school students and adults, girls and women are much more likely to use traditional, step-by-step algorithms to solve basic math problems – such as lining up numbers to add, starting with ...
