Indeed, but that is not just a press release; it is a peer-reviewed paper in Nature.
Also, in this context I believe DeepMInd is somewhat separate from Google. While they are indeed owned by Google (and their technology is used in Google products) I am not aware of any DeepMind results/paper being retracted. Results published under the DeepMind name seems to have a` good track record.

Did they test negatives? What happens when you give it a problem that cannot be proven? Or that can only be verified by numerical evaluation?

Swell. A tool that can answer geometry questions incorrectly. Just what we need.

It's just that it will certainly come up with a lot of false proofs, it would be nice to have an AI say, "I cannot solve it".

From my understanding, the concept of true AGI is still a bit philosophical when we are still scratching the surface of understanding how the human mind works. There will no doubt be continued miraculous developments in AI, but AGI right now is still just a buzzword.

... AGI just around the corner...

Let's discuss this when there will be an AI capable enough to solve 'neighbour problems' without utilizing shotguns.
Math is easy :wink:

We've solved that in the UK. The solution is gun laws.

1. What is DeepMind AlphaGeometry?

DeepMind AlphaGeometry is a project by the artificial intelligence company DeepMind that focuses on using AI systems to solve complex geometric problems. This project is part of DeepMind's broader efforts to advance the capabilities of AI in understanding and manipulating abstract concepts in mathematics and other fields.

2. Does AlphaGeometry signify that AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is near?

While AlphaGeometry represents a significant advancement in the domain-specific application of AI in geometry, it does not necessarily indicate that AGI is just around the corner. AGI refers to a type of AI that can understand, learn, and apply knowledge across a broad range of tasks, mimicking human cognitive abilities. AlphaGeometry, however, is specialized and does not possess the broad learning and reasoning capabilities that AGI would require.

3. What are the implications of AlphaGeometry for the field of AI?

AlphaGeometry's development is a testament to the growing ability of AI to handle abstract and complex problems, which could lead to more sophisticated applications in various scientific and academic fields. It also pushes the boundaries of how AI can contribute to problem-solving in disciplines that traditionally rely heavily on human expertise, such as mathematics and engineering.

4. How does AlphaGeometry work?

AlphaGeometry likely utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms, particularly those in the realm of deep learning, to model and solve geometric problems. These algorithms enable the system to analyze large datasets of geometric information and learn underlying patterns, which can then be applied to solve new, unseen geometric problems. The specific technical details might vary and are generally based on proprietary technologies developed by DeepMind.

5. What are the potential applications of technologies like AlphaGeometry?

Technologies like AlphaGeometry can be used in various practical applications including computer-aided design (CAD), virtual reality, robotics, and more. In academia, such tools can assist in educational settings, providing students and researchers with a powerful tool for exploring complex geometric concepts and proofs. Additionally, in professional fields like architecture and engineering, such technologies can streamline the design process, enhance precision, and foster innovation.
