    Pourra-t-on encore faire des maths « humaines » ? Après l’annonce d’OpenAI sur la résolution d’un problème majeur par l’un de ses modèles d’intelligence artificielle, les spécialistes oscillent entre colère, inquiétude, résignation et enthousiasme. C’est l’avenir même de leur discipline qui est en débat.

    AI's conquest of computer programming offered an early demonstration of what happens when models become good enough at a specialized field that experts can no longer treat them as a novelty. Mathematics appears to be next. Why it matters : OpenAI's latest mathematical results — which involved releasing hundreds of new proofs generated by a powerful, unreleased model — demonstrate that the startling advances of AI are likely to continue moving across entirely new fields.

      When Beijing-based neurosurgeon Jin Shanmu pulled up a chair at his computer, he was not looking to make mathematical history. He was simply trying to crack a problem related to brain ultrasounds. Instead, the self-taught maths enthusiast, with help from OpenAI’s latest flagship artificial intelligence (AI) model, solved a two-decade-old mathematical puzzle that had frustrated experts around the world since 2004.

      Umjetna inteligencija počela je rješavati probleme koji bi još donedavno predstavljali vrhunac nečije matematičke karijere. Ono što se danas događa u matematici najava je mnogo šire promjene: AI mijenja način na koji stvaramo znanje, postajemo stručnjaci i određujemo što u intelektualnom radu uopće vrijedi.

      Začátkem září americká firma OpenAI oznámila, že 10 tisíc jejích AI agentů vyřešilo takzvaný Navier-Stokesův problém, matematický rébus, se kterým si lidé dosud nevěděli rady. Úžas nad objevem ale záhy zastínilo obvinění matematika Tristana Buckmastera, že Open AI vycházela z jeho práce a nepřiznala mu zásluhy. „Někdo by měl dostat cenu milion dolarů, která je na vyřešení vypsaná. Ale kdo, to se neví,“ upozorňuje redaktor Deníku N Petr Koubský.
