Mathematicians warned against rising tech industry influence in a declaration describing the many challenges that AI poses to mathematics research. The timing of the declaration comes two weeks after ...

An OpenAI model disproved the 80-year-old Erdős unit distance conjecture, and Google DeepMind's AlphaProof Nexus solved nine more open problems days later. Together, these AI math breakthroughs mark a ...

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 ...

“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 ...

OpenAI announced on May 20, 2026, that an internal general-purpose reasoning model had produced a counterexample to Paul Erdős's 1946 unit distance conjecture — a result in discrete geometry that had ...

OpenAI says a new general-purpose reasoning model has produced an original proof that disproves a long-standing conjecture in discrete geometry tied to the planar unit distance problem. The claim ...

Let's be totally honest, when you hear that AI has cracked a 80-year-old math problem, your first instinct is probably to yawn and swipe away. It sounds like a headline strictly for the coding nerds ...
