In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in ...

The closest the field has come to solving the planar unit distance problem, first proposed in the 1940s, was in 1984. Now, OpenAI claims an internal model has cracked the puzzle.

Mathematician Will Sawin discusses his experience reviewing and refining a mathematical proof devised by OpenAI's internal ...

For nearly 80 years, mathematicians have struggled to solve a classic geometry puzzle first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946: the ...

Using AI chatbots for even just 10 minutes may have a shockingly negative impact on people’s ability to think and problem-solve, according to a new study from researchers at Carnegie Mellon, MIT, ...

The math world is losing its mind over the new solution to an Erdős problem. This is what AI found, how we missed it—and why ...

A chatbot’s result for the 80-year-old “unit distance” conjecture is the first AI proof that would likely be published in ...

Five steps to ensure that you don’t jump to solutions by Julia Binder and Michael D. Watkins When business leaders confront complex problems, there’s a powerful impulse to dive right into “solving” ...

Over the last several years, Apple has dramatically improved how it handles lithium-ion battery charging in iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches. Across multiple system releases, the company moved ...

If a business wants to offset processing fees, you could have to pay a surcharge for using a credit card. However, if you want to avoid this fee, pay with your debit card, cash or check. Paying a ...
