Anna Brandenberger, Hanna Mularczyk and I conducted a survey of over 260 early career mathematicians (grad students and postdocs). We asked how they felt about AI in math, and how AI was impacting their research and job prospects. The goal was to make sure that younger, less established mathematicians have as much of a voice in these issues as tenured professors (and AI companies) do.
We posted the results of the survey to the arXiv on October 29th, 2026. Here's the write-up:
Early Career Researcher Responses to AI in Mathematics
Before this larger survey, we also did an internal MIT-only survey. Here's the accompanying open letter to the department that we wrote.
