Terence Tao Successfully Uses AI Tools to Formalize Proof of Mathematical Conjecture
Terence Tao successfully applied AI tools to formalize the proof of the polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture, garnering significant attention in the mathematical community. He meticulously documented the process of formalizing the proof using Blueprint in Lean4, emphasizing the importance of correctly utilizing AI tools. With the help of the Blueprint tool, Tao's team decomposed the proof process and successfully formalized the PFR conjecture through the parallel efforts of numerous contributors. Tao believes that the mainstreaming of formalized proofs or the creation of proofs that are both human-readable and machine-verifiable will evolve mathematics.
