Why AI May Solve Mathematics’ Hardest Problems - Yang Hui-He (Mathematical Physicist)
Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xOpnvk7XIyE
In this episode, I sit down with Professor Yang Hui-He, a mathematical physicist who is a Fellow at the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences (LIMS) and a lecturer at Merton College, Oxford.
I ask Yang about his work on AI-guided mathematics and whether AI will solve the hardest mathematical problems, the basics of string theory, his career journey, who LIMS are, why he's working in Michael Faraday's apartment, and more!
The Human Podcast explores stories & ideas about being human.
