Artificial intelligence can now complete your kid's mathematics homework

Researchers have successfully developed an AI system capable of completing mathematics problems at a grade school level, a new report asserts. Traditionally, while AI models are proficient at manipulating language to formulate sentences, the multi-step reasoning required to solve math problems has been a step too far. However, researchers at OpenAI (the company behind language model GPT-3) say they have trained a model to recognize its own mistakes, which means it can repeatedly reassess until it discovers a workable solution. In testing, the AI system was able to solve almost as many problems as a sample of children between the ages of nine and twelve. The children scored 60% on a test drawn down from the OpenAI database, while the AI system scored 55%.
