thebalanced.newsGoogle DeepMind's AI Autonomously Solves Long-Standing Mathematical Problems
Google DeepMind's AI system, AlphaProof Nexus, has autonomously solved nine open mathematical problems posed by Paul Erdős, some unsolved for over 56 years, using relatively low computing costs. It also proved 44 OEIS conjectures, addressed a 15-year-old algebraic geometry question, and discovered a new optimisation algorithm parameter. Unlike earlier AI efforts, DeepMind emphasizes computer-verified proofs to avoid errors common in AI-generated mathematics, contributing to ongoing debates about AI proof validation.
