AI could be about to completely change the way we do mathematics

AI is undoubtedly making strides in the field of mathematics, with tools like AlphaProof and Trinity showing promising capabilities in automating the formalization of mathematical proofs. The recent conference at the University of Cambridge brought together some of the brightest minds in mathematics to discuss the potential impact of AI on the field.

One of the highlights of the conference was the demonstration by Google DeepMind of AlphaProof’s ability to tackle problems beyond the International Mathematical Olympiad. By formalizing a part of the prime number theorem using Lean, a programming language, AlphaProof was able to prove the theorem and verify its correctness. This demonstration showcased the potential of AI in assisting mathematicians in formalizing complex mathematical proofs.

Similarly, Morph Labs presented Trinity, an AI tool designed to automatically translate handwritten mathematical notation into formalized and checked proofs in Lean. Bhavik Mehta demonstrated Trinity’s capability by proving a theorem related to the ABC conjecture, a topic of intense debate in mathematics. While this proof was only a small step towards solving the ABC conjecture, it highlighted the potential of AI in automating the formalization process.

Despite these advancements, there are still skeptics within the mathematical community. Rodrigo Ochigame from Leiden University expressed caution about the lack of transparency in the Morph Labs paper, noting that important details about the methodology and testing were missing. Scepticism remains about the true usefulness of AI tools in mathematics, with concerns about the reliability and scalability of these automated systems.

Nevertheless, proponents like Timothy Gowers believe that AI tools could revolutionize the way mathematics is done, comparing the potential impact to previous technological advancements like email, LaTeX, arXiv, and Google. As researchers continue to explore the capabilities of AI in mathematics, it remains to be seen how these tools will shape the future of mathematical research. Minhyong Kim, a mathematician at the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences in the UK, believes that most mathematicians still prefer to work without the use of automated tools. Despite the advancements in AI technology, it remains unclear whether mathematicians will change their approach as these tools continue to improve. Kim emphasizes the diversity of mathematics and mathematicians, suggesting that some individuals may embrace AI tools effectively and creatively, while others may choose to maintain a more traditional approach.

According to Ochigame, there is a common misconception about the nature of mathematical research. Many people underestimate the complexity, creativity, and subtlety that are involved in this field, which is why a significant amount of research is still conducted using pen, paper, and deep contemplation. Ochigame highlights the vast disparity between high school math competitions, such as the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), and the sophisticated research that takes place in the mathematical community.

The reluctance of mathematicians to fully rely on AI tools can be attributed to the intricate and nuanced nature of mathematical problems. While automation can assist in certain aspects of mathematical analysis, it may not fully capture the essence of mathematical reasoning and intuition. Mathematicians value the process of grappling with complex problems, formulating hypotheses, and developing proofs through rigorous logical reasoning.

As technology continues to evolve, it is possible that some mathematicians will adopt AI tools to enhance their research capabilities. However, there will likely always be a cohort of mathematicians who prefer to rely on their own intellect and ingenuity to tackle challenging mathematical problems. The integration of AI tools into mathematical research may provide new opportunities for exploration and discovery, but it will not replace the fundamental principles of mathematics that have guided the field for centuries.
