3Blue1Brown on AI and math: "there has NEVER been a better time to go into math"
Hesamation · x · 2026-10-18
3Blue1Brown creator Grant Sanderson offers a strikingly optimistic take on AI's impact on mathematics: "there has NEVER been a better time to go into math."
His reasoning: the math community as a whole knows it needs to change, and many senior figures are leaning back looking for guidance and examples of what that change should look like. That means newcomers can actually influence what the field becomes at one of the most pivotal moments in its history — which he finds incredibly exciting.
