AI breakthroughs are disrupting mathematics, sparking debate over research and the future role of mathematicians.

As machines race ahead in solving problems, mathematicians must establish a new era that prizes human understanding over simply publishing more solutions.

Problems that defeated human mathematicians for decades are now solved, but for whose benefit?

Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is so widely accepted that modern mathematicians hardly think about it. But believing in its core principles didn’t come easily.

Ultrafinitism, a philosophy that rejects the infinite, has long been dismissed as mathematical heresy. But it is also producing new insights in math and beyond.

Our new method could help mathematicians leverage AI techniques to tackle long-standing challenges in mathematics, physics and engineering.
