Prediction: AI Will Achieve Superintelligence in Math Within 1.5 Years
rand_longevity · x · 2026-08-03
An AI researcher/thought leader made a bold prediction regarding AGI, suggesting that within about a year and a half, AI will regularly invent or discover new mathematics.
The new math discovered by AI is expected to exhibit both deep theoretical and real-world explanatory power. If AI continues to demonstrate such breakthroughs over time in this highly impactful domain, it will be the first very clear sign of deep artificial superintelligence (ASI).
