AI is Accelerating Mathematical Theorem Discovery
evilrabbit_ · x · 2026-07-12
The author observes that the output of new theorems in mathematics (especially combinatorics) has been accelerating recently. This is driven by AI-generated proofs, AI-assisted proofs, and AI-inspired new proofs, as well as a sense of urgency among human mathematicians to prove theorems before AI takes over completely.
