Per a roundup from AISafetyMemes, AI has produced claimed solutions or partial progress on 90 of the 500 most important open problems in mathematics.
- Top-ranked problems marked PARTIAL include #2 Riemann Hypothesis, #4 Hodge Conjecture, #5 Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer, and generalized Riemann hypotheses for Dedekind zeta and Dirichlet L-functions
- FULL CLAIMs include #22 Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the Rationals and #29 Unique Games Conjecture
- AI safety researcher David Krueger reacted with "woah"; results are unverified and await scrutiny from mathematicians
