In an exclusive interview with CGTN, 2026 Fields Medalist Deng Yu shared his thoughts on the future of AI and mathematical research. He believes there is no need to be overly anxious about the changes AI is bringing: "Hold your horses." AI breakthroughs are not the end of mathematical research, but a new starting point for human discovery. The stronger AI becomes, the more powerful an accelerator it can be for mathematical research, and the stronger it can make us, too.
