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

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers used algebra and geometry together to solve an old random walk problem. Random walk ideas have informed everything from biology to video ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence can now solve open research-level mathematics problems — not just competition questions — and the May 2026 issue of Science News documents the moment the field registered that ...

Researchers from more than 50 international institutions have launched Open Problems (https://openproblems.bio), a collaborative open-source platform to benchmark, improve, and run competitions for ...

A Mathematician with early access to XAI Grok 4.20, found a new Bellman function for one of the problems he had been working on with my student N. Alpay. Not an Erdős problem, but original research.

One idle evening last October, Mehtaab Sawhney took up an old pastime. He began perusing the website erdosproblems.com, an updated record of the 1,179 conjectures left behind by the eccentric and ...
