Abstract:

The current AI pandemonium is forcing mathematicians to revise assumptions about our profession which were taken for granted, from the meaning of doing mathematics, to how the assessment system should work, to the role of mathematicians in society. I will share some thoughts on those topics and leave room for discussions.
