The cast of ‘Proof’ at King’s College includes, clockwise from bottom left: Matt Bell as Hal; Finch Plaspohl as Claire; Gretta Rogan as Catherine and Noah McGinnis as Robert. The play opens March 26 ...

VUB's Data Analytics Lab has published new results showing that it is possible to develop original mathematical proofs using commercial language models. In a paper posted to the arXiv preprint server, ...

In 2024, Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof made history by competing in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) — solving problems once thought to require purely human creativity. The Democrats who ...

AI could soon spew out hundreds of mathematical proofs that look "right" but contain hidden flaws, or proofs so complex we can't verify them. How will we know if they're right? When you purchase ...

The verdict, it seems, is in: artificial intelligence is not about to replace mathematicians. That is the immediate takeaway from the “First Proof” challenge—perhaps the most robust test yet of the ...

Chinese artificial intelligence company DeepSeek has released a mathematical reasoning model that can identify and correct its own errors. The model beat the best human score in one of the world’s ...

Computers are extremely good with numbers, but they haven’t gotten many human mathematicians fired. Until recently, they could barely hold their own in high school-level math competitions. But now ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 1974, five years before he wrote his Pulitzer Prize–winning book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas Hofstadter was ...

A mathematical proof has finally debunked the idea that we live in a simulation, according to a group of international researchers. The theory that the universe could be a computer programme has been ...

Since the start of the 20th century, the heart of mathematics has been the proof — a rigorous, logical argument for whether a given statement is true or false. Mathematicians’ careers are measured by ...

This commentary is published in coordination with the 2025 Global Security Forum, of which Defense One is a media partner. The AI-powered weapons and systems that the Pentagon is racing to build will ...
