Curated reading list captures math community's debate on AI's impact on mathematics
StefanoGogioso · x · 2026-10-09
A curated, regularly updated reading list collects the math community's most compelling writing on what AI means for mathematics — including pieces by Matilde Marcolli, Grant Sanderson (guest post on Terence Tao's blog), Emily Riehl, Daniel Litt, David Bessis, plus classics like Thurston's 1994 'On Proof and Progress in Mathematics'. The curator argues this year's AI onslaught has made questions about what mathematics is and whom it serves more urgent than ever.
