The International Mathematical Olympiad is an international mathematics competition that showcases young minds who are geniuses in the mathematical arena. This year, AI technologies such as Google DeepMind and OpenAI have also participated in this competition.
The Olympiad is held over two days, where all participants will be given six mathematical problems to solve within a few hours. Although this Olympiad is for teenagers and young adults aged 20 and below, if you are not an expert in various aspects of mathematics such as algebra, geometry, number theory and combinatorics, these questions are very difficult to understand and answer.
However, it was reported that Google DeepMind and OpenAI, through their experimental artificial intelligence models, have successfully answered the majority of the questions given, and have received gold medals as one of the participants with the highest scores in the competition.
Last year, Google DeepMind managed to get 28 points through four questions to get a silver medal, and this year it has received a gold medal where they successfully answered five questions shown.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, also said that their experimental LLM model, which was developed to try to create the concept of Artificial General Intelligence, also managed to win a gold medal at the event.
It was also reported that out of several hundred participants who participated in this year's IMO event, only 26 participants scored higher than the AI systems. Some participants of this year's IMO said that this may be the last year that AI will lose to the human mind in this event.
