Renowned mathematician Terence Tao has cautioned that artificial intelligence could precipitate a crisis in mathematics, potentially rivaling the foundational shifts brought about by Gödel's work. The core issue, according to Tao, is not the AI technology itself, but its impact on the values and definitions of scientific contribution. He suggests that a proof incomprehensible to humans should be considered incomplete, questioning the nature of authorship and reward in an AI-assisted research landscape. AI
