Codependent on Chaos: Why Math Matters in a World Run by Machines The International Congress of Mathematicians' meeting in Philadelphia last month highlighted the growing reliance on machines that are rewriting the rules of human endeavor.
Jacob Tsimerman's decision to leave academia for AI safety is symptomatic of a deeper issue: our world is rapidly becoming reliant on code we don't fully understand.
Mathematicians have recently used AI to prove an 80 year old problem, known as the Erdős unit distance conjecture. This breakthrough has far reaching implications beyond mathematics.
