Researchers at Caltech have developed an AI system that can think millions of steps ahead, tackling complex mathematical problems. This new machine-learning algorithm has made strides in addressing the long-standing Andrews-Curtis conjecture, which questions the solvability of certain math puzzles. The AI's ability to generate long sequences of steps is likened to navigating a maze the size of Earth, where only one path leads to a solution.
The AI employs a reinforcement learning approach, starting with simpler problems and gradually increasing in difficulty. By encouraging curiosity and rewarding successful problem-solving, the algorithm develops innovative strategies that surpass human capabilities. Although the conjecture remains unsolved, the researchers have discredited potential counterexamples, enhancing confidence in the conjecture's validity.
