AI Competition to Solve Complex Problems Could Undermine the Essence of Mathematics

‌25 Fields Medalists, including June Huh: "AI competition to solve complex problems could undermine the essence of mathematics" Dong-A Science false
The most shocking news I have personally seen recently
Until now, the development of human mathematics
has been a process where creative individuals, worthy of being recorded in human history—and at least in the history of mathematics—
mobilized all sorts of efforts and ideas
to pioneer unknown territories and expand horizons
While it seems topics are being limited for now,
if AI moves into autonomous research without boundaries on research topics
and builds a knowledge system that humanity might have taken tens of thousands of years to achieve
then the standard for who the greatest mathematician of the era is
might become how much of what AI has already solved one can study and understand
If intelligence—the ability to read and understand—is valued more than creativity
then
creativity, which has been considered the most precious asset until now, will be relegated to a useless quality
Ultimately
the only academic field left for humans to pursue
might be "philosophy," exploring what it means to be human
Though there is a high possibility AI will break through that too....
Is the history of humans as intelligent beings
ultimately coming to an end?
Not just in our country,
but among the political and economic leaders of the entire world,
I haven't seen anyone
properly
addressing this existential threat
I view this as a major issue, no less significant than climate change
If AI solves this problem too, there is nothing left to say
However, since this involves human agency and initiative,
it seems nonsensical to suggest that AI "solving" it is the answer...
