Special Seminar

Beyond proof: AI & mathematics

Patrick Shafto

Location:  Hill 423
Date & time: Thursday, 17 April 2025 at 3:30PM - 4:30PM

Abstract: Advances in AI promise changes in mathematics, but what of form, by what path, and to what end remain unclear. I will present informal thoughts on the direction of mathematics in three parts. Starting with AI assistance in proof in the form of autoformalization and autodecomposition, I will propose new ambitious directions in evaluation, and speculate on where the may lead.
