DeepMind's AI Solves Unsolvable Math Problem, Outperforming Humans

TL;DR Summary
DeepMind claims that its AI tool, FunSearch, has solved a notoriously difficult math problem called the "cap set problem," which had eluded human mathematicians. The AI generated a brand new solution that was not part of its training data, marking the first time AI has made a unique scientific discovery. DeepMind researchers admit they do not fully understand why the AI was able to solve the problem, but they are excited about the potential implications. Further research is needed to verify the claims and understand the process behind the AI's novel solution.
