The integration of mathematics and artificial intelligence opens new avenues for accelerating research and discovery. The Fields Institute Centre for Mathematical AI serves as a collaborative platform where AI and mathematical expertise converge. Our mission is twofold: to develop tools that mathematicians can use without requiring extensive AI training, and to deepen our theoretical understanding of AI by applying mathematical rigour and insight.

As AI integrates fully into human lives, advanced mathematics is the best avenue to decode the “black box” decision-making processes behind today’s algorithms and to help build a roadmap that provides greater insight and direction when shaping these technologies. 

Fields, with its long history of interdisciplinary collaboration and research excellence, has partnered with leading-edge AI research institutes  to further strengthen capacity to drive innovation at the intersection of mathematics and AI.

The Centre’s work will focus on four research themes, including:

• Semi-automated generation of a dynamic knowledge tree from mathematical papers and mathematicians
• AI-assisted mathematical reasoning tools for mathematicians
• Automated formalization of mathematical papers
• Mathematical study and advancement of AI
