In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

Google and OpenAI have solved decades-old problems — but the scientific community is beginning to discuss whether limits ...

Last week, OpenAI shocked the mathematical community by revealing that one of its internal artificial intelligence (AI) models had found a counterexample to a famous conjecture made by legendary ...

A breakthrough from an OpenAI model would have meant nothing without humans to make sense of it.

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

Mathematicians warned against rising tech industry influence in a declaration describing the many challenges that AI poses to ...

An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...
