When checking that solutions to certain problems are correct, it turns out, you can’t get around the inherent complexity of ...

Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...

ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

The bees had to roll the ball under a blue "flower," then stand atop the moved object to access a sweet treat. Mikko Törmänen / University of Oulu Some bumblebees can spontaneously solve problems, a ...

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

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal model—and what that could mean for mathematics.

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 ...

“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 ...

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 ...

The research, conducted across three separate randomized experiments involving math and reading comprehension tasks, found something that should make any AI user pause and think. After around ten ...

Penn Engineers have developed a new way to use AI to solve inverse partial differential equations (PDEs), a particularly challenging class of mathematical problems with broad implications for ...
