In the article «Mathematics is a subject for the young», Tristan Buckmaster analyses how artificial intelligence can transform the practice of mathematics. In his view, the discipline should no longer focus on the race to solve open problems, but should instead turn towards deep understanding and its integration with the physical sciences.

The text also denounces the conflicts of interest of AI companies, which could exploit private data and unpublished work without consent. This situation calls for stricter regulation and the development of independently funded open-source models.

Buckmaster likewise proposes a new system of academic recognition: instead of rewarding speed or the prestige of journals, credit should be based on the quality of exposition, collaboration, and the development of new methods.

The author concludes by expressing his amazement at what postdoctoral fellows are already achieving with these tools and, recalling the saying that mathematics belongs to the young, argues that they will be the ones to decide the future of the discipline.
