Zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic methods in which an approver convinces a verifier that a statement is true yet reveals no additional information beyond that truth. A helpful analogy: you want ...

Math students may not blink at calculating probabilities, measuring the area beneath curves or evaluating matrices, yet they often find themselves at sea when first confronted with writing proofs. But ...

The Ethereum network's switch to ZK proofs is as big a change as The Merge in 2022. Here's how it's expected to roll out across 2026.

Artificial intelligence can convincingly imitate human speech, writing, and even appearance. The answer to "Are you a human?" ...

Vitalik Buterin proposes using zero-knowledge proofs to make social media algorithms verifiable without exposing code or user ...

DeepMind is pushing artificial intelligence into one of the hardest arenas in science, building a system that can navigate the unforgiving logic of formal mathematical proofs. Instead of just ...

Can you trust your AI to be unbiased? A recent research paper suggests it’s a little more complicated. Unfortunately, bias isn’t just a bug — it’s a persistent feature without proper cryptographic ...

In digital security, the less stray information floating around the better. The fewer companies storing your financial records, the less likely they'll be exposed in a breach. But though there are ...

Marijn Heule turns mathematical statements into something like Sudoku puzzles, then has computers go to work on them. His proofs have been called “disgusting,” but they go beyond what any human can do ...

Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson, who surprised the math world when they produced innovative solutions to a 2,000-year-old puzzle, wowed the math world again when they presented several new ways of ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dr. Lance B. Eliot is a world-renowned AI scientist and consultant. In today’s column, I examine an insightful AI research study ...

It might come as a surprise to some people that this prediction hasn’t already come to pass. Given that mathematics is a subject of logic and precision, it would seem to be perfect territory for a ...
