The company’s announcement is the most dramatic sign yet that artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the field of higher mathematics.

OpenAI said today that it has found an AI-generated solution to one of the biggest problems in mathematics —a 200-year-old equation that describes the natural behavior of fluids like water and air.

While this three-step process is the ideal process of applied math, reality is more complicated. Once I reach the second step where I want the solution of the math problem, very often, if not most of the time, it turns out that no one knows how to solve the math problem in the model. In some cases, the math to study the problem doesn't even exist.

There is a $1 million bounty for the first person providing a solution to the Navier-Stokes existence and smoothness problem.
