A few years ago, it was pretty easy for math educators to ignore generative AI. The chatbots of 2022 and 2023 were notoriously bad at math. But that’s no longer true! Today’s frontier AI models are very good at math—to the point of proving mathematical conjectures that have been open for decades.

Today on the show, I have a roundtable of math faculty sharing what AI-aware mathematics teaching looks like here in 2026. Our roundtable guests are Lew Ludwig (Denison University), Chloe Lewis (University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire), Amy Langville, and Kathryn Pedings-Behling (both of the College of Charleston).
