- A mathematician says a machine-found counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture has appeared, landing in the same week as Fields Medal celebrations.
- The post frames this as a sign of a new era: AI is no longer just assisting proof search, but surfacing results on long-standing open problems.
- A linked talk at the NAS reportedly discussed this broader shift in mathematical work.
