This past year, OpenAI, Anthropic, and other labs have announced breakthroughs on numerous long-standing mathematical problems, in some cases pushing well beyond what researchers expected current systems to be capable of — including resolving one of the famous Millennium Prize problems. But in classic Silicon Valley style, AI labs are moving fast and breaking things , barreling through the discipline with all the grace of a runaway bulldozer . Results that might normally have been celebrated have instead sparked backlash .

AI labs say they are learning from earlier mistakes. Whether those promises bear fruit remains to be seen. Read on below for the latest updates in the AI takeover of mathematics.

OpenAI keeps bulldozing mathematicians OpenAI wants to consult elite mathematicians about how to not fumble again OpenAI just wants to win Mathematicians want proof OpenAI didn’t use their work OpenAI’s sly mathematical breakthrough sends a chill through academia Drama swirls around OpenAI’s legendary mathematical milestone Welcome to the AI crisis in math The AI takeover of mathematics has begun
