AI Solves Navier-Stokes? Controversy Rages | Vancouver News

OpenAI stunned the world by claiming its AI agents solved the 200-year-old Navier-Stokes equations—crucial for everything from aviation to climate science—and snagged a $1 million prize. Ten thousand AI agents worked 88 hours straight, using internet and code execution, sparking awe and skepticism alike. Experts urge human verification before accepting the breakthrough. Meanwhile, accusations swirl: two mathematicians say OpenAI may have stolen their near-solution, even offering them credit only if their rival colleague was excluded. OpenAI denies it. The episode dives into the bigger question: as AI accelerates discovery, does it threaten the soul of academic collaboration? A chorus of top mathematicians has already sounded the alarm. This isn’t just about equations—it’s about how we define genius, credit, and progress in the age of machines.
