@cbsnews: Rapidly advancing AI models have sparked breakthroughs in long-standing math problems. From solving problems at the International Math Olympiad to disproving decades-old conjectures - some in the math world are now questioning whether they have a future in the field. But not Professor Shayan Oveis Gharan, who won the 2026 Abacus Medal for his work on the theory of algorithms. He believes the power of AI is harnessed not as replacement for human mathematicians, but as a partner. CBS’s Kamal Afzali explains. #AI #math #mathematicians

eventually,yes. Quantum based AI’s will in 20 years BUT, it will require validation. BUT new math will not be invented by AI.

AI can’t even solve the Riemann Hypothesis, so nope!

As an AI/ML engineer, I feel all these are engineering problems, not scientific, and our goal is to simulate the entirety of human cognitive abilities, once we achieve that, recursive self improvement will have AI solve all these problems and who knows, maybe it's gonna be AI that will finally give us a working theory of everything
