Paper says AI can turn an incorrect math proof into a valid Lean proofMachine translation

AI introduction

A new paper describes a chatbot silently correcting an error while translating an incorrect math proof into Lean, producing a valid Lean proof that does not establish the correctness of the original natural language proof. The accompanying account also says deciding whether a statement can be translated faithfully is harder than the Halting problem, so no AI translator can always do it.

Title: "Navier-Stokes lost in translation: Why Lean verification of AI autoformalisation does not guarantee correct natural language proofs"

ReplyRohan Paul@rohanpaul_ai
A new paper shows that when AI translates a math proof into Lean, passing the Lean check says nothing about whether the original proof is right. They show a chatbot turning a wrong proof into a valid Lean proof by silently fixing the error. Knowing when a statement can be translated faithfully is provably harder than the Halting problem, so no AI translator can always do it.
