It was the latest in a\u00a0series<\/a>\u00a0of AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs. AI\u2019s progress (or assault) on unsolved mathematics has compounded rapidly since mid-2025, when models first solved five of six problems at the\u00a0International Mathematical Olympiad<\/a>. From there, the list of fallen problems grew fast: OpenAI\u2019s model disproved an 80-year-old Erd?s conjecture on combinatorial geometry in May, and in June, 16 researchers from 15 universities published the\u00a0Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics<\/a>, urging the profession to set guardrails around transparency, attribution, and peer review before AI reshapes what mathematical knowledge even means.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-ca\/news\/technology\/mathematicians-grapple-with-a-very-rapid-and-very-unsettling-change-as-ai-cracks-yet-another-century-old-problem\/ar-AA28oks3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Sunday afternoon, while the rest of the world\u2019s eyes were glued to the World Cup final, an AI model resolved a problem that had tortured mathematicians since 1939.\u00a0By the time Kevin Buzzard woke up in London the next morning, … Continue reading
