Mathematics in the Age of AI: Discovery, Reasoning, Verification, and Unease

Ken Ono surveys how AI systems contribute to mathematical discovery, research-level reasoning and formal verification. Examples include AI-guided searches, progress on longstanding problems and formalization in Lean. The talk also examines reliability, attribution, unequal access, education and the future role of mathematicians. It argues for using AI to extend exploration while retaining mathematical judgment and strengthening trust through machine-checkable proofs.
