ChatGPT has solved several of the more than 1,000 unsolved problems posed by legendary Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős, which could mark a milestone in the development of artificial intelligence and give hope that AI systems will live up to expectations in accelerating scientific progress.
According to the GitHub database operated by Australian-American mathematics professor Terence Tao, as of Wednesday, ChatGPT 5. 2 Thinking and 5.2 Pro provided complete, correct solutions to Erdős problems 205 and 652 (previous research in the literature has not revealed any relevant partial or complete solutions to these problems). ChatGPT 5.2 Pro also provided complete solutions to three other Erdős problems.
Dániel Varga believes that the development of AI models gives hope that, with their help, breakthroughs can be achieved in the future in a wide variety of scientific fields, including physics, materials science, biology, and medicine.
