An AI System Has Autonomously Solved an Open Conjecture in Pure Mathematics
For what appears to be the first time, an AI system has independently solved a long-standing open conjecture in pure mathematics, producing a formal proof verified in the Lean theorem prover.
An AI system has autonomously solved Fel's conjecture, a long-standing open problem in pure mathematics, and produced a formal proof verified in the Lean theorem prover. The result, which went viral via @Dr_Singularity, represents a qualitative milestone: not AI assisting a human mathematician, not AI finding counterexamples, but AI independently generating a novel proof of a previously unsolved conjecture.
