Mathematics: The Rise of the Machines? (Theatre)

Artificial intelligence is no longer confined to crunching numbers, it is beginning to propose original theorems, sketch proofs and reveal new and unexpected patterns in the abstract world of mathematics.

Join Yang-Hui He of the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences, one of the pioneers of AI-assisted discovery, as he explores how machine learning is transforming both the practice and philosophy of mathematical research.

Drawing on his own leading-edge work, alongside insights from a recent gathering in Berkeley where mathematicians challenged a powerful AI to solve problems specifically designed to resist automation, he traces the emergence of a new form of mathematical exploration.

By fusing human intuition with computational power, this evolving partnership is reshaping research and redefining the creative boundaries of the field.
