Terence Tao says 'Math 2.0' must value progress more holistically

Original: “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically

Mathematician Terence Tao argues that 'Math 2.0' — a future mode of doing mathematics shaped by AI and new collaborative tools — will require valuing mathematical progress more holistically than at present. His argument suggests traditional metrics of achievement, such as published proofs and individual credit, may undercount contributions like formalisation, tool-building and incremental advances.

Why now: Terence Tao is one of the world's most prominent mathematicians, and his views on how AI should reshape mathematical practice carry weight amid ongoing debate about AI's role in research.
