background
On the record
“Modern developments in AI bring both excitement and uncertainty in our field. We hope to create opportunities for mathematicians, especially students and early career researchers, to shape what comes next by asking good questions, working on problems, and developing the ideas and applications that come with them.”
“Rather than using a set of problems to benchmark AI systems, we want to let the community shape the questions that we pursue, whether or not AI is used, and how we learn from this work.”
