改变数学的一周：菲尔兹奖得主联署担忧 AI 冲击数学界

00:00:0000:00:00 The week that changed maths for ever – podcast In early September, OpenAI announced it had solved a major mathematics problem that has stumped humans for nearly a century. The news left mathematicians reeling, and many expressed concern over what will be left for humans as AI becomes ever more adept at unravelling complex problems. Now 25 recipients of the Fields medal – often called the Nobel prize for maths – have signed an open letter expressing their fears of a ‘severe misalignment’ between AI companies and their field. To find out how AI is likely to upend maths – and how mathematicians might respond – Ian Sample speaks to Colva Roney-Dougal, professor of pure mathematics at the University of St Andrews ‘Immature playground boasting’: mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI’s latest scalp Support the Guardian: theguardian.com/sciencepod Photograph: Tetra Images/Getty Images/Tetra images RF Explore more on these topics Science Science Weekly Mathematics AI (artificial intelligence) Computing
