Terence Tao's public lecture "Math 2.0" (October 9, 2026) slides are now online. A key diagram partitions all mathematical tasks into the Math 1.0 frontier reachable by humans alone, a Math 2.0 frontier reachable only by humans + AI, and the narrow overlap that current press releases and social media hype actually cover — alongside unreported failed AI attempts and more imaginative uses yet to be explored. Slides and recording links are available.
