西沃恩·罗伯茨报道:10月6日,OpenAI发布了350多份由人工智能生成的数学研究成果,其中包括一个关于“准黎曼猜想”的证明,令众多顶尖数学家为之震惊。

Siobhan Roberts OpenAI released more than 350 AI-generated maths findings on 6 October, including a proof of the "quasi-Riemann hypothesis" that stunned leading mathematicians.

这些成果虽未解决任何千禧年大奖难题,却推动了多个数学领域的发展,有望促成未来的重大突破;不过也有部分论文随后被修正或撤回。

The results do not solve any Millennium Prize Problem, but they advance many fields and may help future breakthroughs, while some papers were later corrected or withdrawn.

目前数学界对此态度不一:一方面为人工智能加速科研进程而兴奋,另一方面又担忧其可能冲击同行评审机制、科研文化以及研究生教育的价值。

Mathematicians are split between excitement and alarm, as AI may speed discovery but also threaten peer review, research culture and the value of graduate study.

纽约讯:新泽西州罗格斯大学数学系主任亚历克斯·康托罗维奇这样评价OpenAI于10月6日发布的AI生成证明:“如果这是人类完成的,绝对能毫无争议地获得菲尔兹奖。”

AI generated NEW YORK - “If a human did this, it would be an instant Fields Medal, no questions asked.”That was how Alex Kontorovich, chair of the department of mathematics at Rutgers University in New Jersey, responded to an AI-generated proof that OpenAI, the artificial intelligence giant, released on Oct 6.
