The International Math Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious annual competition for high school students worldwide. The prospect of an AI winning a gold medal at the IMO has sparked debate. Some experts believe this achievement would signify major AI advancements, while others argue it doesn’t equate to autonomous research capabilities. The IMO test must be current, and training on previous questions is allowed, similar to human preparation. Concerns about dataset contamination remain, as models may have encountered similar questions before.
