Many students appear to be completing assignments faster while learning less from them. This conclusion comes from one of the largest studies of how generative AI is changing student behavior and ...

ChatGPT's breakthrough is not what it seems.

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

A recent announcement that an artificial intelligence model succeeded in solving a decades-old mathematical problem that had eluded generations of accomplished mathematicians was widely portrayed as ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

It started almost by accident. At my startup Dwelly, I constantly push the limits of what AI tools can actually do. One day I just typed into a chat: “Can you prove P ≠ NP?”—referring to the problem ...

Mathematical understanding should be a goal for every student and something they feel capable of achieving. But translating that belief into classroom practice remains one of the central challenges in ...

Kendra Pierre-Louis: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I’m Kendra Pierre-Louis, in for Rachel Feltman. In 1997, Deep Blue, a supercomputer built by IBM, did the unexpected: it defeated chess ...

OpenAI’s GPT-5.4 Pro has solved an open mathematical problem that human researchers could not crack since 2019, according to independent verification by Epoch AI. Contributed by mathematicians Will ...

GPT just keeps getting better at mathematics, increasingly solving the trickiest of problems. In January, AI testing company Epoch AI found that a previous version of the AI model, GPT-5.2 Pro had ...
