Live from ICM 2026: What Is Math for in the Age of AI?

AI · Studies · 2026-09-09 05:00:00

Mathematicians are witnessing a profound shift as AI systems produce proofs, spot connections between distant fields, and occasionally solve decades-old problems. In a special live episode of The Joy of Why recorded at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, hosts Janna Levin and Steven Strogatz are joined by three mathematicians to discuss what recent AI-generated proofs really demonstrate, what will be gained and lost as math becomes more machine-assisted, and what this means for the next generation.
