In previous posts, I’ve commented about how AI can give startingly good and startingly bad results. This one definitely qualifies as startingly good. From the Wall Street Journal:
“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.”
And you’ll definitely need to sit down if you’re not a mathematician.
Because a famous math problem that stumped humans for the better part of a century has finally been toppled—by AI.
The Wall Street Journal article above does a very good job of summarizing this amazing development. For more information, please see OpenAI’s press release and references therein.
