For generations, mathematicians have tried and failed to solve an 80-year-old problem. In May, an artificial intelligence (AI ...

Companies under pressure are slashing benefits like parental leave. But cuts like this can create long-term cultural damage.

A new mathematical framework, built on a branch of number theory called adelic analysis, has produced a complete proof of the ...

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

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 ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

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.

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

Then it’s kind of a mystery to try to figure out why and how they’re related.” The Riemann hypothesis has proved to be a font of surprising connections all over math and beyond it, to the realm of the ...

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

A long-standing mathematical puzzle linked to the work of Paul Erdős has reportedly been solved with the help of ChatGPT, bringing fresh attention to how artificial intelligence is beginning to ...
