Former prominent Google researcher Chr Szegedy made bold predictions regarding AI's evolution in mathematics.
He anticipates that AI will become strictly better than humans at all problem-solving aspects of math within 1 year. Within 2 years, producing mathematical theories will become so cheap that AI will generate them on the fly for applied domains. Consequently, mathematics will become the true infrastructure for all engineering and applied sciences, requiring practitioners to learn the new mathematical lingua franca to work alongside AI.
