OpenAI said its internal AI models have solved three open problems in math, computer science and physics, and that it has asked outside experts to check the proofs; some researchers reportedly expressed frustration with the company's gatekeeping of its breakthroughs.
OpenAI says its internal AI models have solved three open problems in math, computer science and physics, one of them tied to a Millennium Prize Problem. The company has asked outside experts, including a Nobel laureate, to check the proofs.
Why it matters: The claimed results are unverified, and if the outside checks confirm them they would mark AI-produced solutions to long-standing open problems.
