"I always knew that the general public had a flawed perception of mathematics, but never expected this to become an existential threat for the discipline itself."

I agree with @davidbessis on this point.

So many other thoughts in there I still need to digest. Go read the full article on "The fall of the theorem economy" here:https://davidbessis.substack.com/p/the-fall-of-the-theorem-economy

The fall of the theorem economy

How AI could destroy mathematics and barely touch it

David Bessis

Fraser made the point that AI only gets to the stage where humans are completely out of the loop if humans choose to take themselves out of the loop [...] “One thing that young researchers in math can do is identify things that they value in being a mathematician, and care for those so that the path in which AI is integrated into math honours that."

Mathematicians’ New Best Friend?

A recent blog post highlighted three Spark Session talks at the 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum that focused on the potential for a new era of superhuman AI capabilities through AI self-improvement and interaction with the real-world environment. Here, we discuss the thoughts of human mathematicians on the prospect of ‘superhuman AI mathematicians’ impacting their field. Read more

Heidelberg Laureate Forum

Asking on behalf of a friend ...

Is there anyone reading this who could give a talk on "Math(s) and Artificial Intelligence"?

It would need to be aimed at a general audience, so while the material itself doesn't need to be deep, the person giving the talk would need to have some first-hand experience of the actual math(s) that's involved.

Anyone?

If you're comfortable doing so, please boost for reach ... Mastodon-the-platform relies on networking effects.

Many thanks.
