Stephen Wolfram has published a long essay asking what role human mathematicians will play as AI systems grow more capable at pure mathematics. He explores whether machine-assisted proof and computation will change how mathematical research is done and what remains distinctively human in the field.

Mathematician Tristan Buckmaster has given an interview to the mathematics channel Numberphile about the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the most famous unsolved problems in mathematics. The conversation covers his research on blow-up and singularity formation in fluid equations, a topic he is known for advancing. It is drawing attention from mathematicians and science enthusiasts discussing the state of the Millennium Prize problem.
