Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians ...

Are two sets of data genuinely different, or is it because of randomness? This question, known as the two-sample testing problem, becomes notoriously difficult in modern datasets, because they are ...

Modern encryption relies on mathematical assumptions that quantum computers may soon render obsolete. This technological shift creates new ...

With automated proof-checkers, a problem can be broken up into small chunks, solved bit-by-bit, then reassembled with ...

Many AI visibility platforms extrapolate from a small subset of prompts. Explore three metrics designed for an infinite-query ...

I have a confession that probably won't surprise anyone who knows me well: I love reading books about mathematicians. Not because I understand the dense mathematics. I struggled through four semesters ...

An experiment with 2,520 participants backs Richard Feynman’s answer to every diner’s dilemma: do I want to try something new ...

In 1946, the mathematician Paul Erdős posed the unit distance problem—and suggested a winning strategy. An A.I. model has now ...

By encoding mathematical statements into numbers, mathematician Kurt Gödel used ordinary arithmetic to check whether a ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

P vs. NP asks: are these two classes actually the same? If P = NP, then every “hard” problem is secretly fast to solve; we ...

OpenAI makes big splash with AI finding math problem breakthrough. Real lesson is to use AI to find counterexamples. An AI Insider analysis and scoop.
