Healthcare policy is increasingly justified through the language of numbers, yet numerical precision does not guarantee sound reasoning. Some of the most damaging public health controversies, from ...

GenAI’s breakthrough in mathematics offers a lesson for medicine: solving healthcare’s biggest problems means questioning old ...

A new benchmark pitting AI against previously unseen maths problems shows that systems still fall short of top human expertise. Artificial intelligence has undergone its most scrupulous maths test yet ...

Think about placing dots on a flat surface. You want as many pairs as possible to be separated by the same distance. For any amount of dots, what is the greatest possible number of pairs that can be ...

Artificial intelligence is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future? Credit...Illustrations by Yoshi ...

In mid-May, OpenAI announced that an internal AI model had disproved the Erdős unit distance conjecture, a famous problem in discrete geometry that had stumped human mathematicians for the last 80 ...

Every few years, the medicine industry convinces itself that the next great disruption will either save or destroy how we train physicians. We’ve said it about duty hour restrictions, about the United ...

“If you are a mathematician,” one of the world’s leading mathematicians recently wrote, “you may want to make sure you are sitting down before reading further.” And you’ll definitely need to sit down ...

Trump ridiculed for claiming 400-600% drug discounts and posting a 'aced cognitive tests' image on Truth Social. Employers who laid off workers citing AI are already starting to regret it Coffee ...

OpenAI claims its model solved a famous geometry problem that has eluded the world’s greatest mathematicians for 80 years — a breakthrough hailed as evidence of the bot’s creativity and “intuition.” ...

In October 2024 I attended a workshop at Harvard University where mathematicians talked through the uses of artificial intelligence in their field. Most were less worried about the future of math than ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...
