Terence Tao says AI could trigger math's biggest crisis since Gödel

Terence Tao, a mathematician at the University of California, Los Angeles, warns that AI could trigger mathematics' biggest crisis since Gödel, comparable to the foundational upheaval around 1900. He argues that a proof no human can explain should be considered incomplete, as AI challenges what counts as a contribution and who did the work.

In a new essay, Terence Tao warns that AI could push mathematics into a crisis on par with the foundational upheaval around 1900. What's being tested this time isn't mathematical truth but the values of the field: what counts as a contribution, what gets rewarded, and who did the work. His rule of thumb: a proof that no human can explain should be considered incomplete.
