Tao: AI solves math problems but leaves understanding behind
Fields Medal winner Terry Tao argues AI excels at verifiable math answers but adds little understanding, while its capabilities outrun the theory and safety work needed to govern them.

AGI could land in 2027, and cyber risk is already here
State of AI Report author Nathan Benaich weighs his 2027 AGI forecast against cyber incidents, a data center backlash, and a frontier gap that rivals and nations struggle to close.
Compute per problem is exploding, yet many companies still underuse AI
An OpenAI insider, speaking with a Stripe-affiliated host, argues that results now scale with compute spent per problem, while security, supply chains and alignment struggle to keep pace.
Serval bets enterprise AI's value lies in guardrails, not intelligence
Jake Stouch, CEO of Serval, argues that smarter agents will make enterprises tighten permissions, turning approval and audit layers into the product, while admitting autonomous background agents remain unsolved.
AI is solving open problems faster than mathematicians can understand them
Scott Aaronson, a UT Austin computer scientist, argues the bottleneck in mathematics, AI safety and quantum computing is no longer producing answers but formalizing, verifying and understanding them in time.
AI has flattened the attacker pyramid, and defenders trail
CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz argues attackers now use unguarded open-weight models at machine speed, while defenders blocked by frontier-model refusals need purpose-built security AI.
After OpenAI's proof dump, mathematicians' job shifts from solving to understanding
Computer scientist Scott Aaronson argues AI's solution of hundreds of open problems cannot be undone, pitting mathematics' ideal of open participation against grief over lost careers and unreviewed proofs.
