28] – Scientists for Palestine [admin@scientists4palestine.com] on Wed., Nov. 12 at noon ET will host a lecture by Professor Timothy Gowers -- How Will Artificial Intelligence Change Mathematical Research?  Register here to get the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/pc6g8-O2QHeLZ2PqRrwFxQ#/registration

In the last few years, with the arrival of large language models (LLMs), there has been a revolution in artificial intelligence, which looks likely to have a profound influence on many human activities, including mathematical research. Three years ago it was unthinkable for a computer to solve a competition-level mathematics problem: in 2025 several teams created programs that reached gold-medal standard in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Does this mean that a couple of years from now computers will be solving research-level open problems?
