Correct Isn't Enough. I Want the Reason. – Paul Lessard podcast science

Why it matters

Paul Lessard discusses what he wants from AI in mathematics: correct proofs are not enough; he also wants provenance showing why a machine reached a particular answer. The description contrasts possible uses for machine-generated proofs with the continuing need for human understanding in real mathematics.

Discuss: For AI in mathematics, what would proof provenance need to show for a person to understand why a machine reached its answer?
