This marks one of the clearest examples so far of AI helping to solve a longstanding mathematical problem that had stumped the experts. Written for you by our author Paul Arnold, edited by Gaby Clark, ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

Three mathematicians just proved a famous 30-year-old conjecture in geometry, with only a tiny assist from AI. The conjecture says that even within enormous, scattered and chaotic assemblages of ...

OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. If this sounds ...

Are refugees more likely to commit crime? Is the ‘loneliness epidemic’ real? Does a fall in the UK's healthy life expectancy mean what you think it means? The known unknowns of Ebola in the Democratic ...
