Mathematician Solves Erdos Problem With AI

KQED FM San Francisco 1h5m Impact 8
An AI tool developed by Demis Hassabis has won a Nobel Prize for solving a problem in biology. A mathematician has solved Erdős problem 1196, building on previous work on related problems. The proof was reportedly teased from an AI chatbot by a 23-year-old with a master's degree.
