AI is starting to resolve open math conjectures, and the field may be entering an AlphaGo-like shift

The repost argues that AI is now resolving open problems and conjectures at a growing pace, with a roughly ten-year gap between where the field was and where it feels now.
The quoted article, The Future That Arrived Early, says recent work on the Jacobian Conjecture is one example of a broader shift: more open problems in mathematics are being solved with AI, and many more are expected in the coming months. The author compares the moment to Go after AlphaGo in 2016, suggesting mathematics may be entering a similar transition.
