Terence Tao Declares Mathematics 2.0 as AI Proofs Flood the Field

Fields Medalist Terence Tao argues that AI-generated proofs are creating a 'proof abundance' era, urging mathematicians to shift focus from solving to understanding, verification, and integration, while warning that over-optimizing for solutions risks damaging mathematics' long-term health and devaluing PhD training.
