Stable rationality conjecture for smooth projective surfaces

Let XX be a smooth projective surface. The surface is stably rational if X×P1X\times\mathbb{P}^1 is rational. Stable rationality conjecture for surfaces. If

X×P1X\times\mathbb{P}^1

is rational, then XX is rational. This is a cancellation-type assertion for rationality of smooth projective surfaces. The source states it as a conjecture and provides no resolution.
