Google's AI solves math problems, needs human help

Ars Technica July 26, 2024, 01:01 AM UTC

Summary: Google DeepMind's AI models, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, reportedly solved four out of six problems from the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad, earning a score of 28 out of 42 points. This achievement marks the first time an AI has reached such performance in the competition. However, the models required extensive time and human assistance for problem translation, raising questions about their capabilities.
