'I'm Really Terrified': A Mathematician Grapples With AI's Recent Breakthroughs

WIRED

Steven Strogatz coauthored a book about how math is moving beyond human understanding. He spoke with WIRED about the seismic impact artificial intelligence has had on his life's work. Mathematician and author Steven Strogatz starts to cry when he talks about the artificial-intelligence -driven breakthroughs in his field over the past week. "The science is thrilling," the Cornell University professor says, "but there's a lot of human unpleasantness going with it." On Tuesday, OpenAI said it had used tens of thousands of agents to solve a 90-year-old math problem, which had a $1 million prize attached.

'Immature playground boasting': Mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI's latest scalp

The Guardian

I t was a week that left mathematicians reeling. Hot on the heels of a flurry of cases of artificial intelligence furthering the field, OpenAI declared a major scalp: its latest AI model had cracked a Millennium Prize Problem, a puzzle with a $1m reward that had defied human brains for decades. The achievement bore little resemblance to how mathematical problems normally fall.


AI may be denting computer science graduates' job prospects, UK data shows

The Guardian

'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. 'It is clear that something did happen to the software developer labour market last year,' said an expert. AI may be denting computer science graduates' job prospects, UK data shows AI may be warping the job prospects for students in the previously high-demand subjects of computer science and economics, according to a detailed look into the careers of recent UK graduates. Data obtained for the 2027 Guardian University Guide published on Saturday shows that coding and software development were the fastest-falling occupations for graduates last year, while employer demand for graduates in well-paid roles in financial categories such as economists and management consultants also declined. Experts said graduates looking to work in those areas might be the first to be directly affected by the application of AI, and confirm predictions that AI would disrupt the labour market through agents increasingly able to produce software and analysis quickly and efficiently.

Ukraine faces'toughest winter' since Russia's full-scale invasion, UN official tells BBC Image caption, Efforts are under way to repair Ukraine's power network so people can run heaters and access water during winter Ukraine is facing its toughest winter since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, a top United Nations official told the BBC.

Speaking in Ukraine, De Croo - the UN's third most senior official - accused Russia of systematically targeting the country's energy infrastructure. He said there was now a race against the clock to repair the power network before winter sets in and temperatures plummet. Russia and Ukraine have been intensifying aerial attacks in recent months, and both deny deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure.


Behind the killer robots of Ukraine's new warfare 'revolution'

The Japan Times

A military mechanic with the call sign Chimera watches his fellow soldiers prepare new vehicles for field use in a workshop in the Kharkiv region, Ukraine. KHARKIV REGION, Ukraine - In a cramped workshop near the front line in northeastern Ukraine, military mechanic "Chimera" is helping prepare his unit's robot forces for battle. Lined up in a row, the four-wheeled unmanned vehicles known as "Hyenas" will crawl toward Russian lines with their payload of explosives and attack an enemy dugout or halt an advance. Similar models have captured Russian prisoners, said Chimera, 44, who asked to be identified by his call sign. In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
