Indian scientist expresses concern over OpenAI's AI solving decades-old math problem

An Indian scientist has commented on OpenAI's recent announcement that its artificial intelligence system solved a mathematical problem that had remained unsolved for nine decades. The researcher expressed concern about the implications of machine-based problem solving, calling the development "depressing."

The statement reflects broader academic debate around the role of AI in scientific discovery and whether computational solutions should be viewed as equivalent to human intellectual breakthroughs in mathematics and theoretical science.
