Terence Tao, mathematician: ‘It’s not good for something as important as AI to be a monopoly held by one or two companies’
This article contains an interview with Terence Tao, indisputably one of the best mathematicians in history. At 49, Tao, who was born in the Australian city of Adelaide, received his doctorate from Princeton University at 21 and was already a professor at the University of California in Los Angeles at 24. In the interview, Tao discusses the results from the recent presidential election in Venezuela, whether AI is a threat that could destroy humanity, AI systems like AlphaProof and AlphaGeometry, whether water could spontaneously explode and destroy the world, and more.
