DeepMind’s Latest AI System, AlphaGeometry, Aces High-School Math
By solving math problems, Google’s artificial intelligence shows progress in reasoning that today’s chatbots lack
In a paper published in Nature this week, DeepMind introduced a system called AlphaGeometry that proves complex geometry theorems better than prior computer programs.

In a paper published in Nature this week, DeepMind introduced a system called AlphaGeometry that proves complex geometry theorems better than prior computer programs. Researchers at the company described this as a major breakthrough of an AI applying reasoning and planning to tasks, something even today’s advanced models can’t do — but something scientists believe is necessary for a hypothetical future artificial general intelligence, or AGI.
