Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant advancements in the field of mathematics, raising questions about the potential for AI to achieve human-level reasoning and even artificial general intelligence (AGI). AI systems have demonstrated the ability to solve complex geometry problems, assist with proofs, and generate new avenues of attack for long-standing mathematical problems. By using machine learning algorithms and neural networks, AI can spot patterns in complex datasets and make predictions that human mathematicians may not have considered. Additionally, the formalization of mathematical proofs and the use of AI to check and generate proofs could further enhance AI's mathematical capabilities. While some mathematicians remain skeptical about the possibility of AI achieving true mathematical creativity, others believe that AI's progress in mathematics could be a significant step towards AGI. However, the development of a superhuman AI mathematician by 2026, as some experts suggest, remains uncertain. [Extracted from the article]
