AI and the Future of Mathematics

In this OpenAI Forum conversation, Sébastien Bubeck joins mathematicians Jacob Tsimerman, Daniel Litt, and Po-Shen Loh to explore how AI could reshape mathematical research and education. Filmed on August 11, 2026, the discussion examines what makes a mathematical result valuable, from solving long-standing problems to generating new ideas and discoveries. The panel also considers how students can use AI as a learning tool and, looking ahead, how AI could help mathematicians tackle harder questions and rethink mathematics’ role in the wider world.
