What’s the secret to prompting an AI to solve math problems that have left humans stumped? Tell it to believe in itself ...

A series of recent research papers have shown that ChatGPT and related large language models can produce original, verifiable mathematical proofs, including solutions to problems that had not been ...

In 2024, an AI entered the fray of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Google’s AlphaProof is part of the same Alpha group that also created AlphaFold and AlphaGo. It solved problems that ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

The model generated a mathematical proof that disproves a long-held assumption behind the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, a ...
