AI keeps cracking unsolved math problems, and mathematicians have mixed feelings
OpenAI's recent solution to the Unit Distance Conjecture has ignited significant debate in the mathematics community, showcasing the potential of AI in solving complex problems. Fields Medal winner Timothy Gowers reported that GPT 5.6 Pro successfully solved two problems he had struggled with for a long time, achieving this on the first attempt.
Gowers warns that reliance on AI could lead to the destruction of mathematical culture if mathematicians cease to develop the expertise necessary to understand such results. Conversely, some view AI merely as a productivity tool, highlighting the mixed feelings within the mathematical community.
