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 ...

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.

After an AI from OpenAI found a trick to solve an 80-year-old conjecture from Paul Erdős, mathematicians have borrowed the ...

Only a few months ago, the question felt mostly philosophical: if artificial intelligence can help solve open math problems, ...

Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems and proved 44 OEIS conjectures using AI-driven formal ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

The puzzle poses a deceptively simple question that boils down to: How many pairs of dots on a piece of paper can be the same ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...

After 30 months of fast-paced innovation in quantum algorithms, six research groups are hoping to hit paydirt. But there can be only one big winner—if there is a winner at all. I’m standing in front ...

When a startup struggles, founders usually assume the solution is obvious: more marketing, more hiring, or more capital. But in my experience advising founders, the real issue is usually something ...
