Terry Tao guest post by Amit Sahai: We're gonna need a lot more mathematicians
What happened
这篇文章是 Amit Sahai 在陶哲轩博客上发的，核心就一句话：AI 系统已经在产出人类跟不上的漂亮数学想法了，我们不能因此就退出研究，反而得大规模扩编懂数学的人。他回忆自己本科时，很多同学因为跟不上尖子生的理解速度就放弃了数学研究，现在整个数学界很快也会尝到这种滋味。他接触的 AI 已经不是单纯算得快，而是能提出全新的思路。他担心研究者会因为“机...

Amit Sahai argues in a guest post on Terry Tao's blog that AI systems are already generating beautiful new mathematical ideas that humans struggle to keep up with. He warns against the temptation to leave research mathematics and calls for a major expansion of mathematically sophisticated researchers worldwide—a 'deployable intellectual reserve'—to understand consequential AI-enabled breakthroughs, such as a novel 1-terawatt fusion plant design. The post does not specify concrete numbers or policy proposals; it is a directional call to action.
