How does AI change mathematical and physical research? This SCGP event connects five research talks with a structured panel. The talks focus on specific research problems. The panel examines proof, understanding, discovery and education. Speakers will compare concrete examples and explain how they check results. Audience questions will connect the three themes.
All talks will take place in the Simons Center Auditorium, room 103, unless otherwise indicated.
