Substack essay links the Jacobian conjecture to AI’s changing role in math careers
kylekabasares · x · 2026-07-25
The author has restarted writing on Substack with a piece about the Jacobian conjecture and how AI is changing what it means to be a mathematician — and, eventually, what it may mean to be a professional in other fields.
The post frames the question through a math example and then widens it into a broader argument about how AI tools may reshape expertise, professional identity, and the role of human judgment across disciplines.
