Shing-Tung Yau and leading Chinese mathematicians launched the Yau Laboratory Alliance for Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence in Beijing, uniting eight institutions and aiming for a network of over 1,000 researchers.
Yau warned that China is falling behind the US, while 25 Fields Medal winners, including Terence Tao and Peter Scholze, worry that AI-generated proofs erode understanding and create dependence on tools researchers cannot follow.
