AI Struggles with Math Conjectures: Lacks Ability to Evaluate Problem Value
JFPuget · x · 2026-08-06
The author argues that while AI can easily verify proofs of known conjectures via Lean, AI practitioners often overlook the significant preliminary work involved in formulating the conjecture itself.
Currently, AI lacks an automated way to determine whether a new conjecture holds genuine mathematical value, creating a bottleneck for AI's broader role in mathematics.
