Antonio Casares Santos, Associate Professor of Theoretical Informatics at the University of Aix-Marsella (France), remembers perfectly what happened on 6 October. On that day OpenAI suddenly published 722 scientific studies prepared by his Artificial Intelligence that claimed to have found the solution to hundreds of mathematical problems that had taken years, decades and even centuries without being able to be solved by the brightest human mind…
Is human mathematics at the end? Cédric Villani is the holder of the Fields Medal. In his conversation, he describes the fact that OpenAI has presented hundreds of evidence in a single day as "Apocalypse now".
AI challenges maths by solving the unsolvable
"All the avenues of research I had are now gone; we're facing a new day," Hugo Duminil-Copin, winner of the 2022 Fields Medal, one of the highest honours in mathematics, recently told his colleagues at the French Mathematical Society. Since April, AI firms have regularly been publishing solutions to previously unsolved mathematical problems as they seek to demonstrate the power of their latest models. Last week OpenAI released solutions to 719 p…
Mathematicians fret as AI solves the unsolvable
PARIS - Announcements over the last few months that artificial intelligence models have cracked previously unsolvable problems are shaking to the core top-level mathematicians, who are now asking themselves: where do we come in?
‘Just answering the questions is not the point’: Dartmouth mathematicians weigh artificial intelligence’s role in the future of their work
On Oct. 6, OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts addressing hundreds of research problems, including longstanding conjectures and questions related to several of the seven Millennium Prize Problems - major mathematical challenges established in 2000 that carry a $1 million prize for finding their solution. The released findings, and the unprecedented volume of them, has prompted mixed reactions among the mathematics community, including f…
