The mathematics community is right to call for transparency, integrity and fairness to be protected when AI tools are used.

A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows systems still fall short of top human expertise.

A week after OpenAI made headlines with an A.I.-generated proof, a new “declaration” by 16 experts raises concerns that the technology threatens math as a discipline. By Siobhan Roberts Recently there ...

University of California professors are sounding the alarm on a “severe” lack of math skills among college students — thanks to a decision to ban standardized testing in admissions at the elite ...

An 80-year-old maths conjecture that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians has been cracked by an artificial intelligence model built by OpenAI. The result has stunned experts and is being ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Three Fields Medalists, researchers from OpenAI and DeepMind and dozens of mathematicians and computer scientists gathered at Stanford last week to envision how artificial intelligence (AI) might ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

Axiom Math is giving away a powerful new AI tool. But it remains to be seen if it speeds up research as much as the company hopes. Axiom Math, a startup based in Palo Alto, California, has released a ...

Over the past couple of months, several researchers have begun making the same provocative claim: They used generative-AI tools to solve a previously unanswered math problem. The most extreme promises ...

The recent news about plummeting math preparation among University of California, San Diego, students was startling: Over five years, the number of incoming students deemed to need remedial math ...
