AI's failed attempt to crack the Riemann hypothesis still led to a breakthrough (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An artificial intelligence (AI) model's failed attempt to crack one of math's most notorious unsolved problems has helped a human mathematician make progress on a related puzzle. Earlier this summer, Claude — Anthropic’s AI model — attempted to find a solution to what's widely considered one of the most important unsolved math problems. Known as the Riemann hypothesis, it proposes a hidden order behind the apparently random distribution of prime numbers. And while the bot's attempt failed, it di
'Predatory behavior': Elite mathematicians clash over OpenAI's 'solution' to million-dollar math problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HEIDELBERG, Germany — Often considered the slowest, most methodical and most abstract of the sciences, mathematics usually advances so incrementally and esoterically that it rarely troubles the mainstream media. It was therefore with some discomfort that a panel of elite mathematicians took to the stage Sept. 15 here at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum, a conference that unites young researchers with award-winning mathematicians and computer scientists. The focus of the panel: to confront the rapid
Nobel Prize-winning physicist and team use Claude AI to solve decades-old math puzzle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two physicists have used generative artificial intelligence (AI) to solve a stubborn mathematical problem in physics that had vexed researchers for more than a decade. Their solution, described July 1 in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, came about when the physicists chose to revisit a problem they thought they had attempted to solve exhaustively within a topic they knew intimately. This concept, known as jamming, refers to the sudden transition from a fluid system to
