An AI system refuted a 30-year-old mathematical assumption in computer science

An artificial intelligence system has disproved a 30-year-old assumption in computer science, according to New Scientist, Al Jazeera and Biznob. The three outlets report the finding but do not give details of the assumption or the specific AI system involved. It remains unclear which researchers or institution produced the result, or when it will be formally published or peer-reviewed.
