ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

For nearly eight decades, some of the sharpest minds in mathematics stared at a deceptively simple question about dots on a flat surface and couldn’t crack it. An AI just did. OpenAI announced that ...

Have you ever felt like this? Welcome to Athabasca University's Mathematics Diagnostic Assessment. This online test contains 70 questions that will help you assess your mathematical skills. Based on ...

Place any number of dots on a two-dimensional plane—say, a piece of paper—and measure the distance between each pair. If you rearrange the dots, how many pairs could be positioned exactly the same ...

Last month many mathematicians were shocked by OpenAI’s announcement that artificial intelligence had solved geometry’s famous “unit distance” problem. For some, the achievement was exciting. But ...

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 ...

OpenAI's AI model solved the unit distance problem posed by Paul Erdos in 1946 The AI found a counterexample disproving Erdos's conjecture on unit-distance pairs The solution shows unit-distance pairs ...

Fez – For decades, one of mathematics’ most famous unsolved puzzles resisted the efforts of researchers around the world. Now, an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI has achieved what ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

AI can rifle through enormous libraries of information to connect far-flung ideas—conceptual leaps remain a purely human skill. The planar unit distance problem, or Erdős problem 90, has intrigued ...
