Shing-Tung Yau launched a Beijing-based alliance of eight institutions to integrate AI into math research, aiming for a network of over 1,000 researchers. This contrasts sharply with the skepticism from 25 Fields Medal winners, including Terence Tao, who fear AI-generated proofs erode understanding and have called for boycotts.

    • China formed a cross-institutional alliance led by Shing-Tung Yau to mobilize 1,000+ researchers for AI-driven math.
    • Western experts, including Fields Medalists, worry that AI-generated proofs lack interpretability and cause intellectual dependency.
    • Even among AI users, there is no consensus on whether LLMs provide genuine insight or merely brute-force known methods.
