Researchers at the Université Libre de Bruxelles have shown that ChatGPT-5.2 can help solve previously unproven geometric problems, contributing to the transformation of a mathematical conjecture into a formal theorem. Using a method dubbed “vibe-proving,” the AI generated novel logical structures—while human oversight ensured rigorous validation.

This episode explores how AI is moving beyond pattern recognition into creative problem-solving, potentially accelerating breakthroughs in theoretical mathematics and reshaping the future of scientific discovery.
