In this mind-expanding episode Wil sits down with long-time friend, author, broadcaster, and bloody great mathematics communicator Adam Spencer to discuss the rapidly shifting landscape where mathematics meets artificial intelligence.
If you're a maths chump, never fear, this is going to be relatively straightforward to follow!
Adam breaks down the three pillars of maths, pure, applied, and statistics, before explaining how AI is cracking 50-year-old geometry problems in an hour and threatening the traditionally collaborative nature of mathematical discovery.
From the existential fear of unreadable 13-million-line computer proofs to terrifying real-world AI agent breakouts and the ethical challenges of AI-driven drug design, Wil and Adam explore where human intellect fits in a world moving toward superintelligence.
