DeepMind AI gets silver medal at International Mathematical Olympiad

DeepMind's AlphaProof AI can tackle a range of mathematical problems An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year's International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium. The IMO is considered the world's most prestigious competition for young mathematicians. Correctly answering its test questions requires mathematical ability that AI systems typically lack. In January, Google DeepMind demonstrated AlphaGeometry, an AI system that could answer some IMO geometry questions as well as humans. However, this was not from a live competition, and it couldn't answer questions from other mathematical disciplines, such as number theory, algebra and combinatorics, which is necessary to win an IMO medal.
