Disclaimer. The effects of AI are vast, and there is much to be said about its broader impact on society. One should also remind that mathematicians have a role to play in advancing research on AI safety. I do not feel sufficiently qualified to address these wider questions here, so I will instead focus on the direct effects that the current use of AI is having on the mathematical community and provide my experience as a practicing mathematician. The progress of AI in mathematics is spectacular. I will not venture here to predict what AI may accomplish in the future, but I can already say…
