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

The card game Set has long inspired mathematicians to create interesting problems. Now, a technique based on large language models (LLMs) is showing that artificial intelligence (AI) can help ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. All of modern mathematics is built on ...

DeepMind has used a large language model (LLM) to generate a novel solution to one of humanity’s toughest math problems — in a breakthrough that could herald a new era in AI development. The model, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Anisha Sircar is a journalist covering tech, finance and society. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice ...

A mathematician may have just proved the impossible possible. For 30 years, mathematicians wondered if you could have an infinite set of numbers where each pair of numbers adds up to a unique value, ...

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 ...

An artificial intelligence can translate maths problems written in plain English to formal code, making them easier for computers to solve in a crucial step towards building a machine capable of ...
