❗️OpenAI’s controversial math breakthrough may be more original than critics thought

When OpenAI published its 166-page Navier–Stokes proof, critics questioned whether the AI had relied on ideas developed by other mathematicians.

The suspicion was that it followed an approach pioneered by two Spanish researchers.

But according to Scientific American, mathematicians examining the proof are reaching a different conclusion: OpenAI’s AI may have developed a fundamentally different approach.

If confirmed, that would shift the debate from whether the AI borrowed existing ideas to how independently it can discover new mathematics.

The proof still needs rigorous scrutiny, but the controversy is taking an unexpected turn.
