What Is Math For in the Age of AI? – Live from ICM 2026 | PODCAST: The Joy of Why

Why it matters

Quanta's live discussion at ICM 2026 examines AI mathematical proofs and what mathematicians value beyond a correct answer. Janna Levin and Steven Strogatz host Akshay Venkatesh, Ravi Vakil and Alex Kontorovich for a conversation about intuition, understanding, research and teaching. Claims about recent systems are attributed to the panel, not independently validated here.

Discuss: What evidence would convince you that AI mathematical proofs contribute understanding rather than merely a correct result?
