AI Used to Verify Toughest Mathematics Proof Yet

IEEE Spectrum 1 month ago 23

Axiom Math used its AI system AxiomProver to automatically verify the proof of the 246 theorem about primes for the first time. The verified result states there are infinitely many prime pairs that differ by 246. It raises the prospect of reusable formal proof components to help formally verify AI-generated computer code for correctness, despite limitations of verification systems.
