The AI takeover of mathematics has begun
Mathematician James Maynard has spent a lot of time this past year "soul searching." A professor at the University of Oxford and winner of the prestigious Fields Medal, Maynard told The Verge he's been grappling with the future of his field as the traditionally slow-moving discipline hurries to adapt to AI. Days before we spoke, OpenAI revealed it had produced the solutions to 10 long-standing mathematics problems, some of which had confounded academics for decades. Like gener
Get smart on it
AI has begun solving long-standing mathematics problems that have confounded academics for decades, using an advanced model that combines known results and methods in new ways to attack unsolved questions. The technology works by learning patterns from vast amounts of material and can draw links between different mathematical fields or resurface buried concepts from academic literature. Mathematicians express both excitement about accelerating discovery and apprehension about what this shift means for their field and future generations of mathematicians. The announcement has prompted reflection among leading mathematicians about how their traditionally slow-moving discipline will adapt to rapid AI advancement.

You can now turn off Google Gemini’s visible watermarks
Google will now allow you to remove visible watermarks from the images, videos, and music made with AI tools. With the update, you can toggle off a new "Media watermark" setting in Gemini and Google's AI video generator, Flow. When toggled off, Google will remove the "sparkle" watermark that appears in the bottom-right corner of content generated with the company's Nano Banana and Omni models. Though visible watermarks are now optional, AI-generated content will have invisible
