AI is solving ‘impossible’ math problems. Can it best the world’s top mathematicians?

Despite these potential limitations, Lackenby sees AI’s promise in mathematical hypothesis generation. “So many different areas of mathematics are connected to each other, but spotting new connections is really of interest and this process is a good way of seeing new connections that you couldn’t see before,” he said.

Lackenby’s work demonstrates that AI can be helpful in suggesting conjectures that mathematicians can then go on to prove. And despite Saunders’ reservations, Tao thinks AI could be useful in proving existing conjectures.

The most immediate payoff might not be in tackling the hardest problems but in picking off the lowest-hanging fruit, Tao said.

Are humans the real ancient aliens?

Sadly quite a realistic view.


How special are we? A recent research paper suggests that terrestrial-style biology may be rare, and Earth may be among the first examples of a planet able to sustain life in the cosmos. Even as the new kids on the block, humans are seemingly one of the precious few instances of intelligence to arise in the universe since the Big Bang did its thing.

Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb and his colleagues in the U.K. have argued that the halcyon days for life are still to come. It’s not even morning in the universe; it’s pre-dawn. Biology may erupt like weeds on an untold number of worlds, but if so, the infestation will take place tens of billions of years in the future.

Non-Opioid “Pain Sponge” Therapy Stops Cartilage Loss and Eases Chronic Pain

A new stem cell–based therapy challenges traditional pain treatment by using pain-sensing neurons to reduce inflammation and protect joints. Newly released preclinical data describes an unconventional strategy for managing chronic pain while helping preserve joint tissue. The findings focus on SN
