Researcher calls for mathematically defined problem lists in every field, citing AI's scalable verification
ValerioCapraro · x · 2026-09-09
Valerio Capraro endorses Sabine Hossenfelder's proposal that physicists compile a list of mathematically well-defined problems that could advance the field, and goes further: every scientific discipline should identify its most important mathematically formulable problems.
His key argument: AI's breakthroughs in mathematics clearly show that verification can be scaled. Targeting the problems that really matter to the world could ignite the next scientific revolution.
