ChatGPT Solves a 90-Year-Old Mathematical Problem

OpenAI's artificial intelligence announced it found a solution to the Navier-Stokes problem in 88 hours, after nearly 90 years of research. This problem, which concerns equations describing fluid motion, is one of the seven 'Millennium Problems' of the Clay Mathematics Institute. Although the solution was produced by nearly 10,000 AI agents, it still requires independent verification before validation. The rapid advancements in AI raise concerns among mathematicians about transparency and the impact of automation on research.
