Original: "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math

Mathematician Terence Tao, widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians, says he is 'on a war footing' as artificial intelligence reshapes mathematics, according to a New York Times profile. The piece frames his urgency as part of a broader crisis in the field, with researchers debating how AI tools will change proof, discovery, and the role of human mathematicians.
