The ability of AI systems to produce new mathematics is advancing at a breathtaking pace. Many students and mathematicians are experiencing anxiety, a sense of loss, hopelessness while others feel we are entering a golden era. We all agree that mathematics as a product of human culture and as a profession is undergoing profound changes.
Below are links to essays, social media accounts, blogs and videos that I've found illuminating. They express a diversity of points of view and are from a wide cross-section of mathematicians, from students to fields medallists.
Proofs and prompts, a communal blog on Math and AI.
Statement from Tristan Buckmaster regarding work related to Navier-Stokes .
Look, Mom, I pressed a button! by Danny Calegary.
The AI dissenter viewpoint, by Tasmin Chu (one of the posts on Proofs and prompts). A compelling case for avoiding AI use completely. Some interesting counterpoints in the comments.
The fate of the Riemann hypothesis, by Richard Schwarz. Short story about a dystopian near future.
@tao (Terry Tao) on Mathstodon. Extensive discussion on how the field should evolve, and lots more.
@littmath (Daniel Litt) on x . Lots of fantastic insight and reactions.
@thomasfbloom (Thomas Bloom) on x . Lots of interesting commentary, especially around Erdös problems (Thomas created the "official" list of Erdös problems and keeps track of which ones have been solved by humans and/or AI).
The last generation of mathematicians, Curt Jaimungal's podcast interviewing Jacob Tsimerman.
Tim Gowers's blog. Some very insightful posts on various topics around AI and math.
\begin{proof} . A declaration by a group of mathematicians who pledge not to use AI in any form.
The crisis of AI generated mathematics, by Max Weinreich. Another cogent case for refusing to use AI as a community.
AI and humanity's long conversation. Geordie Williamson's public lecture at ICM 2026.
Mathematics in the age of AI. Terry Tao's public lecture at ICM 2026.
No country for mediocre mathematicians, by Garvy . A substack post discussing (among other things) the contributions of "average" mathematicians as it relates to AI and more generally.
