Mathematicians issue warning as AI rapidly gains ground

What happened

Science published a perspective by leading mathematicians noting that AI models have dramatically advanced on top math benchmarks within a year and now solve tasks that were recently out of reach.

Context and impact

The community isn't in panic but urges investment in evaluation (new proof-style benchmarks) and preserving the human mathematician's role in verifying AI outputs.
