The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why it matters.

Exploring concepts such as observation and measurement in the fresh air can give students a new and playful perspective on ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

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 ...

Researchers at DeepMind, the artificial intelligence research division of Alphabet Inc., have created software that’s able to solve difficult geometry proofs that are often used to test the brightest ...

OpenAI's AI helped overturn a longstanding math conjecture by finding a counterexample, highlighting a powerful new way to ...

In September 2019, news broke regarding progress on this 82-year-old question, thanks to prolific mathematician Terence Tao. And while the story of Tao's breakthrough is promising, the problem isn't ...
