Theoretical computer scientists at Princeton, UCLA and UT-Austin used AI to help solve a mathematical puzzle. The experience showed them that while current AI models are great at solving math problems, they lack the research judgment to build mathematical theories. Photo from Adobe Stock

AI is great at math, but does it know how to do research?
