OpenAI resolves decades-old mathematical enigma in 88 hours

SIC Notícias9 September 2026 at 09:13

OpenAI managed to solve a decades-old mathematical enigma in a period of 88 hours. To achieve this feat, the company used an innovative approach that involved more than 10,000 artificial intelligence agents working in a concerted and coordinated manner.

The AI model produced more than 130 billion tokens during the problem-solving process. This massive amount of generated content was necessary to explore and analyze the multiple mathematical possibilities involved in the enigma.

The problem in question had remained unsolved for decades, having resisted numerous resolution attempts by the traditional mathematical community. OpenAI's approach demonstrated the ability of AI systems to collaborate massively to address complex computational challenges.

Almost half of Portuguese students use AI weekly, but only 57% learn to evaluate it

Almost half of Portuguese students use artificial intelligence at least once a week, a figure above the OECD average, but only 57% receive training to critically evaluate the responses generated by these tools. The new PISA results also reveal a significant decline in reading and mathematics skills and warn of inequalities in access to future digital skills.

AI will not replace the worker. It will replace management

This article explores how artificial intelligence is transforming business management, replacing supervision and performance evaluation functions traditionally carried out by human managers. Through a scenario that may be fiction or already reality, the text describes an AI system that monitors workers in real time, identifies delays, evaluates productivity, flags performance deviations, and suggests interventions — all without human intervention. The article questions whether AI came to replace not so much the workers, but rather the managers, raising profound questions about the future of work and leadership in organizations.

O GLOBO and nine other newsrooms in Latin America are participating in the new AI-Powered Next Gen News Sprint

O GLOBO and nine other Latin American newsrooms participate in the AI-Powered Next Gen News Sprint, an eight-month program created by the News Product Alliance and the Google News Initiative to develop artificial intelligence products aimed at young audiences. The initiative addresses a global challenge for newsrooms: young people aged 18 to 28 consume news through social media, messaging apps, and aggregators, and no longer directly on news outlets' websites, representing only 2% to 5% of subscriptions and revenue in most newsrooms. The program seeks to create AI-based solutions to reconnect this audience with journalism.
