"A little over a week ago, artificial intelligence company OpenAI announced ten
advances in mathematics and computer science made with their as-yet unreleased
model Astra. The discoveries cover a wide range of mathematical fields,
including geometry, cryptography and coding theory.

These ten are just the latest in a rapidly growing list of mathematical
breakthroughs made by generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems.

OpenAI accompanied the announcement with a statement on “responsibility to the
mathematical community”. Here, the company acknowledges concerns about
attribution, accountability for the correctness of AI-assisted results, and the
changing nature of mathematical discovery.

The statement reflects a growing understanding that the remarkable technical
advances due to AI are only part of a bigger story about what mathematics
means, and what its future will look like."
