OpenAI's 'shepherds' verify AI-generated proof of quantum Yang-Mills existence
scientificamerican · reddit · 2026-11-11
Per Scientific American, experts appointed by OpenAI have verified the company's AI-generated proof of the "existence" of quantum Yang-Mills theory — a foundation of the Standard Model and a million-dollar Millennium Prize problem.
- To avoid another "slop drop" (OpenAI dumping 700+ AI proofs in a single day in October), eminent theoretical physicist David Gross led a committee supervising the release.
- Like many AI proofs, this one is too lengthy and complicated for humans to immediately grasp.
