In remarks shared by MTSlive, OpenAI researcher @boazbaraktcs suggests math might be a microcosm of society's relationship with AI. His concern is “gradual disempowerment”: if AI handles people's material needs, they may feel less pressure to become educated for work and voluntarily hand control to AI. He also notes that students still learn calculus even though Wolfram Alpha has been able to do it for “a decade or more.”
