Geordie Williamson is giving a public lecture on “AI and humanity’s longest conversation”. This is an insightful slide on the dichotomy he expresses #ICM2026
A slide is projected behind the speaker on stage, Geordie Williamson who is looking down with his hands together in front of him, and it says “Where do I stand?
/ would like this talk to reflect two things in roughly equal measure.
- A sense of wonder at this technology: the simple (mathematical!) ideas behind it, the fact that we don't understand it, and the possibilities it already offers.
- A deep concern around the potential impacts: on our discipline, on the next generation of mathematicians, and on the sense of meaning we get from intellectual activity.
