DeepMind's AI Tackles Math Olympiad: A Step Toward Smarter AI?

Dr Mark van Rijmenam, CSP -

If your AI can’t solve high school math problems, is it really intelligent?

Google DeepMind's AI systems, AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry 2, have achieved a significant milestone by solving four out of six problems from the International Mathematical Olympiad.

This success is akin to winning a silver medal and showcases the systems' advanced reasoning capabilities. These AIs combine reinforcement learning with large language models to handle complex math tasks, suggesting a leap toward more intelligent AI.

While they currently solve high-school-level problems, their potential applications are vast, including coding and scientific research. Could these advancements lead to AI systems that can match human mathematical prowess?
