AI’s math problem: FrontierMath benchmark shows how far technology still has to go
FrontierMath, a new benchmark from Epoch AI, challenges advanced AI systems with complex math problems, revealing how far AI still has to go before achieving true human-level reasoning.
Fields Medalists Terence Tao, Timothy Gowers, and Richard Borcherds, along with International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) coach Evan Chen, shared their thoughts on the challenge. If AI can eventually solve problems like those in FrontierMath, it could signal a major leap forward in machine intelligence—one that goes beyond mimicking human behavior and starts to approach something more akin to true understanding. Sample problems from the FrontierMath benchmark, ranging from number theory to algebraic geometry, demonstrate the complexity required to test AI’s advanced reasoning abilities.
