Human judgment, he says, still anchors the whole system.
And in a moment that speaks to just how fast AI is changing research culture, mathematician Tristan Buckmaster told Australia's ABC that racing to solve math problems is now, in his words, pointless. With AI systems capable of working through proofs at scale, the competitive sprint that defined academic mathematics for generations may be giving way to something more collaborative and harder to define.
