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 ...
The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to ...
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.
A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in math’s top journal if humans had done it alone ...
In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. News about AI math problem raises realization that finding counterexamples can be extremely valuable. getty In today’s column, I ...
An AI model by OpenAI has solved the 80-year-old planar unit distance problem, showcasing its potential to revolutionize research across mathematics and other scientific fields.
