AI makes discoveries in mathematics, computer science, physics, OpenAI says
OpenAI's announcement is the latest in a series of claimed scientific breakthroughs credited to AI.
OpenAI has announced that its AI models have made several scientific discoveries in mathematics, computer science and physics.
The AI giant said on Monday that the three new discoveries concerned the fields of harmonic analysis, complexity theory and quantum field theory.
Among the discoveries, AI models proved the local smoothing conjecture, one of the central propositions of harmonic analysis, in every spatial dimension for the first time, according to OpenAI.
“Problems in pure mathematics did not arise in a vacuum,” he added. “Many of them came out of concrete physical considerations, and these connections can now be explored rapidly and decisively.”
