Sawhney: Fostering human understanding will become a more valuable role in math
“Increasingly it would be a function of, like, you're sort of helping, you're the human who can sort of give this understanding to other people and sort of help them with it. I think that more, sort of, that communal understanding will, I think, become, it was …”
Litt: Mathematicians used AI Erdős proof ideas to solve other open conjectures
“So a bunch of mathematicians took those ideas and used them to find counterexamples to a bunch of other interesting open questions. So, for example, like the sum product conjecture over the real numbers.”
Sinofsky: Mathematicians Are the Group Most Excited About Math-Solving AI
“And the most interesting thing about it is the group that's most excited are mostly the mathematicians. And they're the ones, and so that actually confuses everybody, because if you're of the school of the people who are like, it's gonna put people out of work…”
Mensch: Strong European Math Training Produces Top AI Talent
“France, UK, Poland are very good at training mathematicians. And as it turns out, mathematicians are very good at making AI.”
Robinson: Top mathematicians cannot understand computer-generated proofs
“Right now, there are mathematical proofs done by computers that human beings can't understand. The best mathematicians in the world don't understand those proofs, and all they can say is, we can't find a mistake in it. It's probably right, but we're not real s…”
