Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · Yang-Hui He: Why AI Will Permanently Transform How Math Is Done · 3 Jan 2025 podcast

Thompson the Fields Medal again was they got the proof through this um uh system.

Uh lean is very good.

Uh I I do a little bit of lean, but also lean, the the true champion of lean is Kevin Buzzard uh at Imperial, um 30 minutes down the road from here, from from from this spot.

And he's been uh very much a champion for what do you call it the Xena project?

And it you using lean to

to formulate, to formalize uh all of mathematics.

I mean that's the the the the the the dream.

And what they have what what Lean has done now is that he has um uh Kevin tells me that all of the undergraduate level mathematics at Imperial, which is a is a it's a non trivial set of mathematics, but still a very, very tiny bit of actual mathematics.

And they they can check it and everything

that we've been taught so far at undergraduate level is good and self consistent.

So nobody needs to cry about that one.

And so that's all good.

And then more recent breakthroughs is the beautiful work of um, you know, so three fields medalists here.

Oh, sorry, two two fields medalists, Gowers Green, Manners, and Tao Manners, I think it's the nice, and Tao, and where they proved this conjecture, which I I don't know the details of, but they were actually using lean to prove uh to help proven this.

And I think Terry Tao in this uh public lecture which he gave recently in in twenty twenty

In in uh 2024 in uh in Oxford, he calls this this whole idea of AI co-pilot, which I I mean I very much like this word.

Um I was with Tao um in August in Spain in Barcelona.

We were at this uh conference, and he's very much into this very well, and of course, you know, Tao, Terry Tao for us is you know, is is is a godlike figure.

So and he the fact that he's champion.

This idea of AI c co-pilots for mathematics is very, very encouraging for for all of us.
