The best-yet test of artificial intelligence’s mathematical mettle has released its first official round of results. The verdict is that large language models (LLMs) are emerging as useful—albeit ...

The result is correct but challenges core norms of mathematics: checking proofs, crediting ideas and keeping research open to everyone.

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...
