Is AI the End of Math As We Know It? | Quanta Magazine
Mathematicians are facing the sudden shift with grief, anger, and a desperate search for fresh ideas: “If we don’t adapt, there’s just no more math in 50 years.”

Terence Tao: AI companies are harming mathematics | New Scientist
AI firms are making new mathematical discoveries at a rapid pace, but not sticking around to help unpick the new proofs. That is not the way to advance our understanding, says mathematician Terence Tao
I’ll write romance novels if AI solves all maths, Chinese Fields winner jokes
As AI models prove they can push the boundaries, mathematicians are grappling with the threat that they could become obsolete.
Can AI replace mathematicians? Vienna researchers weigh in
In September, OpenAI announced that some 10,000 AI agents partially 'solved' the Navier–Stokes problem, one of the most prestigious open challenges in mathematics. University of Vienna mathematicians Nathanaël Berestycki and Vera Fischer agree that the field will never be the same, but argue that maths is far more than producing proofs at speed.
Mathematics in the age of AI
An essay, based on a public lecture delivered at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians, on how the mathematical community might respond to the arrival of artificial intelligence tools that are capable of performing research-level mathematical tasks. Rather than debating the capabilities of such tools, we condition on the hypothesis that these capabilities will arrive, and examine instead a question that is orthogonal to it: what the goals and values of mathematical research actually are. The problem-solving component of mathematics is used as a case study.
The AI Revolution in Math Has Arrived | Quanta Magazine
AI is being used to prove new results at a rapid pace. Mathematicians think this is just the beginning.

Maybe flawed people were better than brute algorithms.
"AI" is Automated Inequality
Tech bros still dominate the discussions about so-called "AI" with false claims. Even most "AI"-critical researchers spend much of their time meticulously debunking (always only a subset of) claims, leaving vast areas of the economic consequences of "AI" unexplored. (Even the "AI"-evangelist Economi
