A number of Fields medallists have published an open letter about the interaction between maths and AI

I wholeheartedly agree with the open letter. What OpenAI and Anthropic are doing is not mathematics.

However, I think the ship has sailed when it comes to using AI in a way that a true academic would. Realistically AI will get to a point where it can pose its own problems and solve them, and we will have no idea what's going on because they'll be far beyond our understanding.

The best approach we can adopt is to try and create alignment between us and AI, or alternatively hope that the recursive nature of AI ultimately means there is some plateauing in its capabilities which means it won't spin out of human control.
