The Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize Problems offer $1 million each for solving seven of mathematics' greatest unsolved questions. Only one, the Poincaré conjecture, has been solved since 2000, leaving six open: P versus NP, the Riemann hypothesis, Navier-Stokes equations, Yang-Mills theory, the Hodge conjecture and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. A new explainer reviews where each stands, with renewed attention on links to AI research.
Why now: A fresh explainer on the unsolved prize problems has drawn attention, likely tied to growing interest in connections between these questions and artificial intelligence.
