西方数学家担心 AI 让人变笨，中国发起丘成桐数学与人工智能实验室联盟
Western mathematicians fear AI makes them dumber while China builds an entire alliance for it
西方数学家担心AI会让自己变笨，中国则由菲尔兹奖得主丘成桐与一批顶尖数学家于周日在北京发起联盟，把AI推进数学研究。联盟定名为丘成桐数学与人工智能实验室联盟，联合八家机构，目标是建成超过1000名研究者的网络，《南华早报》报道了这一消息。
As Western mathematicians push back against AI, China is doubling down. Fields Medal winner Shing-Tung Yau and a group of leading Chinese mathematicians launched an alliance on Sunday in Beijing to push AI into math research. The "Yau Laboratory Alliance for Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence" unites eight institutions and aims to build a network of over 1,000 researchers, the South China Morning Post reports. Yau warned that China is falling behind the US.
In the West, skepticism dominates. Twenty-five Fields Medal winners, including Terence Tao and Peter Scholze, worry that AI-generated proofs erode mathematical understanding and make researchers dependent on tools they can't follow. Parts of the community are calling for a boycott of AI-generated proofs, while others say they're shocked by the sheer volume of automated submissions. China, meanwhile, wants to build specialized models, develop machine-verifiable proofs, and create transparent AI reasoning.
Even among experts who use AI, there's no consensus on whether it produces genuine mathematical insight or just brute-forces its way through known methods, or if that distinction even matters.
