AI keeps cracking unsolved math problems, and mathematicians have mixed feelings
OpenAI's refutation of the Unit Distance Conjecture has sparked a wave of AI-assisted advances in mathematics. Fields Medal winner Timothy Gowers says GPT 5.6 Pro solved two problems he had spent considerable time working on, each on its first attempt. He warns of the "possible destruction of mathematical culture" if mathematicians stop building the expertise needed to understand such results. Others simply see AI as a productivity tool.<br /> The article AI keeps cracking unsolved math problems, and mathematicians have mixed feelings appeared first on The Decoder. [...]
