The Next Phase of AI - Ethan Mollick, Knowledge at Wharton

All the experts far undere The Next Phase of AI - Ethan Mollick, Knowledge at Wharton stimated the progress AI would achieve in just a few short years. In 2025 both Google and OpenAI reached gold-medal status at the Math Olympiad. And even more surprisingly, they won this using Large Language Models alone. The same LLMs that were famously bad at counting the letters in the word “strawberry” could now “determine all real numbers α such that, for every positive integer n, the integer ⌊α⌋ + ⌊2α⌋ + · · · + ⌊nα⌋ is a multiple of n.” Maybe you knew the answer to that question, but I did not (according to both AI and the answer key, it is “every even number”). So, AI is better than me at math, and likely better than you as well. In fact, within a year after the Math Olympiad gold, LLMs were able to solve math problems that had eluded the world’s best math professors for decades, meaning AIs are better at discovering proofs than almost all humans.
