Mathematicians' Newest Assistants Are Artificially Intelligent
Briefly

Mathematicians have traditionally proposed conjectures and then painstakingly proved them line by line. However, with AI co-pilots, this process is experiencing a transformative shift.
The AI co-pilot developed at the California Institute of Technology can autonomously suggest next steps in a proof, facilitating progress through intermediate mathematical goals.
Anandkumar notes, 'The co-pilot offers multiple suggestions for advancing a proof, ensuring that all outputs are correct, thus aiding mathematicians in reaching complex conclusions.'
The Lean software employed by the Caltech co-pilot rigorously checks suggestions for validity, ensuring that erroneous propositions are sifted out before mathematicians see them.
