United Kingdom, Oct. 9 -- OpenAI has published full or partial solutions to 372 outstanding mathematical problems, prompting mathematicians to question how artificial intelligence could transform the field.

The announcement on Tuesday (06.10.26) has been dubbed the "mathpocalypse" and comes just weeks after OpenAI revealed a proposed proof addressing the Navier-Stokes equation, one of seven Millennium Prize Problems considered among the most difficult challenges in mathematics.

The latest results are contained in 722 papers, many of which have yet to be independently verified.

Their sheer number and complexity could itself create a major challenge for mathematicians trying to understand and check the work.
