DeepMind AI solves geometry problems at star-student level

An artificial-intelligence (AI) tool can rigorously prove whether geometric facts…are true…When tested on a set of 30 geometry problems from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), AlphaGeometry could solve 25. This is approaching the performance of the competitions’ gold medallists — at least in geometry.
