The rise of artificial intelligence has pushed mathematics to a crisis point. In our latest video, we speak with Terence Tao, one of the world鈥檚 top mathematicians and author of Six Maths Essentials, to diagnose the state of the field right now and explore if it has a future even in the face of increasing automation.
Why should anyone learn to do maths with a pen and a piece of paper right now? What is the power of abstract thinking and can we afford to lose it? And what is on the research wish list of one of the most prolific and decorated mathematicians of our time? Join us as we take a grand tour of modern mathematics, following one of its best guides through the rapidly changing science. We’ll explore the fundamental character of mathematics research, as well as the principles and questions that guide the field 鈥� and how AI can be in discord with them.
