A.I. Mathematician? A Simplified Look at DeepMind’s AlphaTensor

Google DeepMind’s AlphaTensor is the beginning of AI-driven mathematical innovation.

Google’s DeepMind research group recently developed “AlphaTensor.” the first AI system for discovering novel algorithms to perform fundamental tasks such as matrix multiplication. This application has brought innovations to the 50-year-old mathematical challenge of finding the fastest ways to multiply two matrices. Let’s decompose the significance of this discovery.

What is Matrix Multiplication?

Most of us first encountered matrix multiplication in middle or high school. It consists of …
