Which million-dollar math problem could AI solve next?

After an OpenAI model presented a possible solution to the Navier-Stokes problem, mathematicians are speculating about which major unsolved question could be resolved next

After OpenAI's AI model reportedly solved the Navier-Stokes problem, mathematicians are now speculating about which major unsolved mathematical question could be resolved by AI in the near future. The mathematics community is still reeling from the groundbreaking achievement, with the Navier-Stokes problem being one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems, each carrying a $1 million prize for its solution. Other potential AI targets include the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Hodge conjecture.
