Here is a 40 min conversation between Martin Hairer and Tom Crawford (@TomRocksMaths.bsky.social) on AI and Mathematics which digs into more detail. youtu.be/G8HMa_tgM34 #HLF26

❔ AI can be extremely useful, but can we make it safe for us humans?

🤖 Last week, at the Spark Session at #HLF26, Torsten Hoefler and Jacob Tsimerman approached that possibility from opposite directions.

A video of that panel is available here: https://youtu.be/H7_d_sgui6o?si=y0gRHwAcEvGjS8so #HLF26

We were also very proud to be part of an #hlf26 panel on "Careers in Academia, Industry, Start-Ups, and Beyond"!

Good advice by Gilles Brassard to the young researchers at #HLF26 .

I think the citation by A. Einstein would have fitted well into the AI panel earlier on.

This week we are at #hlf26! To find out more about what happens @hlforum.bsky.social, check out the videos we have made in previous years

Obviously, the recent announcement by #OpenAI about solving the Navier-Stokes Problem has been looming over the panel discussion on "AI in Mathematical Research" at #HLF26 .
If such hard problems can be solved by AI, will the focus shift towards finding those hard, interesting, valuable … problems?

A strong EMS presence at #HLF26 in Heidelberg this week. We wish all laureates and young researchers a rewarding week of exchange and new connections.

The 13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum is underway! #HLF26

Representing the EMS in Heidelberg: Apostolos Damialis, Helge Holden, Jorge Buescu & Alain Valette.

A selection of EMS books is also on display and will go to young researchers at the end of the Forum. 📚

At #HLF26 , Shayan Oveis Gharan (Abacus Medal in 2026) showed this slide. The -10**(-36) improvement caused quite some smiles in the audience. Sometimes the qualitative improvements outweigh the quantitative ones by leading the way towards further progress.

Yu Deng, another of this year's Fields Medallists, talked in the same #hlf26 session as Tsimerman, about critical problems in statistical #physics and PDEs. Some very impressive #maths that also applies to one of Hilbert's problems plus.maths.org/icm-2026-fm-1

Really enjoyed Jacob Tsimerman's talk at the #hlf26 this morning! He talked about #AI and #maths, the topic on everyone's mind. If you'd like to find out what #maths he won the Fields Medal for, see our article from the #ICM26 plus.maths.org/icm-2026-fm-4

Got my first nerdy sticker at #HLF26 :-)

Many sessions are live streamed. Have a look at the programme: www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/forum/13th-h...
