AI models need moral support to make discoveries
AI models need moral support to make discoveriesOne recent development in AI is its ability to solve some long-standing problems in mathematics. In 2024 and 2025, this was a trickle: once or twice a year somebody would say that an LLM came up with a proof, and then everyone would argue over whether that counted as “real” mathematical innovation. Almost every day I see some new LLM-produced mathematical result.

In 2024 and 2025, this was a trickle: once or twice a year somebody would say that an LLM came up with a proof, and then everyone would argue over whether that counted as “real” mathematical innovation. In 2026, it’s a flood. Almost every day I see some new LLM-produced mathematical result. Prompt “engineering” Perhaps the most curious thing about these AI discoveries is how easy the prompting is.
