Can AI replace mathematicians? Vienna researchers weigh in

Researchers at the University of Vienna are examining whether artificial intelligence can replace mathematicians, weighing current AI capabilities in proof, problem-solving and research against the creative and conceptual work that defines the discipline. The discussion touches on how tools like large language models may change mathematical practice, collaboration and education, and which parts of a mathematician's work remain beyond automation for now.

Why now: Rapid advances in AI are prompting scientists across fields to reassess which intellectual professions automation could realistically transform.
