“Mathematics in the age of AI” examines how the mathematical community might respond if artificial-intelligence tools become capable of research-level mathematical work. The essay treats the arrival of those capabilities as a hypothesis rather than debating whether or when they will emerge. The work shifts attention from AI capability to the goals and values of mathematical research. It uses mathematics’ problem-solving component as a case study for considering what researchers value beyond the production of solutions. The essay is based on a public lecture delivered at the 2026 International Congress of Mathematicians and was submitted to arXiv on August 17, 2026.
