Exactly one year ago, I was a happy-go-lucky university professor, writing my papers.

I would have described myself as someone who had enjoyed the privilege of being good at mathematics.

And then there was a dramatic change.

Now, I'm deeply troubled.

For the first time, I struggled to assemble questions that ChatGPT would get wrong.

These models know more facts than any human you would ever find.

I was devastated.

I was thinking, how am I going to stay ahead of AI?

Is that I actually think that's the wrong question.

Knowledge quickly became cheap.

If our goal is to always stay ahead of AI, then I think we're going to lose.

My name is Ken Ono.

I'm a mathematician, and I also work in the space called AI for Math.

I'm a professor at the University of Virginia on leave, and I'm the founding mathematician at Axiom Math.

The very first time I heard the term artificial intelligence was in 1993.

And I met a faculty member who said, I work in artificial intelligence.

My very first words were, oh, that's interesting.

I specialize in natural intelligence, and I was cocky.

I would have my butt handed to me many times for using words like that.

But that's where I came from.

Exactly one year ago, I was a happy-go-lucky university professor, writing my papers, enjoying life at the University of Virginia,

and then there was a dramatic change.

I came face to face with large language models at work.

The Frontier Math Program, where this company based in Berkeley called Epoch AI hired professional

mathematicians from around the world to assemble very difficult math problems

and their goal was to assess the capabilities of large language models as they improve.

For the first time, I struggled to assemble questions that ChatGPT would get wrong.

I was devastated.

At the time, I was one of the few scientists who had been given access to these state-of-the-art models.

And I had to be patient for a few months to go by before the world did recognize that, yeah, these models know so much.

These models know more facts than any human you would ever find.

So for a few months, I was devastated.

I was thinking, how am I going to stay ahead of AI?

I actually think that's the wrong question.

If our goal is to always stay ahead of AI, then I think we're going to lose.

Nobody would be interested in watching Usain Bolt race against a motorcycle in the one-mile run.

It's not a fair race.

But we still watch the Olympics.

We, as a society, now know how to accept that machines can outperform humans in every physical way.

But we're still now coming to grips with the fact that the brain, deep inquiry, computers have caught up.

The large language models should be thought of as the most extraordinary librarian the world has ever seen.

If it has been written down, the large language model has probably seen it.

If it's on YouTube, the large language model has probably been trained on it.

If you read a newspaper article by the afternoon, the large language model has probably seen it.

Good luck with competing with that ability to collect information.

Information, knowledge is now cheap.

But how you use it and how you verify it has become more expensive.

Do you want your librarian to be your neurosurgeon?

Do you want your librarian to be your air traffic controller,

somehow keeping an eye on the hundreds of planes that are flying over North America or Korea?

No way, because that human judgment is important.

My identity has changed.

My view on intelligence now has changed quite a bit.

The ability to reason, make proper inferences, whether you can do it quickly or slowly, it doesn't matter.

But can you create a new concept?

Can you generate ideas?

Can you string concepts together in a deep way?

That is intelligence.

That is not the regurgitation of facts.

And we're not good at teaching that.

Are you good at setting the dials to design a system from scratch that was going to produce some gadget,

whether it's an industry or a computer program or perhaps a whole new area of science.

That's deep intelligence.

And it rarely is the form that is recognized in schools at any level.

Do you have the ability to recognize patterns in areas of thought

that can be transferred from one discipline to another so that you can propel another area forward?

I would have said five years ago, oh, that's just being in the right spot at the right time.

But that's unfair.

Being in the right spot at the right time, well, you still have to make that observation.

So there's an element of recognizing a target of opportunity.

That is genius.

And I don't use genius very lightly.

The student, the worker, who becomes an expert in their niche field

because they plug away and learn something new about

that field every day is so hard-nosed and is so committed

that that is also intelligence and a kind of genius that we need to recognize.

I have a very unique personal story.

I'm a son of a mathematician.

When I was a child, I was considered gifted in mathematics and my parents decided at an early age that I was gonna be a mathematician.

My parents actually had a plan for all three of the boys.

My oldest brother was gonna be a pianist, he did it.

I was the youngest, was gonna be a mathematician.

And the middle son, who they said wasn't good at math and wasn't gifted in music, well, he should just go work in a bank,

just make a living, which inspired him to do great things.

My brother Santa has gone on to become the president of the University of Michigan.

He's a very distinguished scientist,

and he was literally driven by this need to prove that his early assessment was incorrect.

For me, it almost went in a very bad way.

I dropped out of high school.

The last thing I wanted to be in high school was anything my parents wanted me to be.

I didn't want to be the one Asian kid in class

that was expected to be good at math when all the other kids had lives.

I couldn't play baseball, you know, the all-American pastime, and I hated it.

In April of 1984, I was in the mindset that I'm gonna run away from home, I'm never gonna see my parents again, and I don't care about that.

I'm gonna strike out on my own.

In April 1984, a letter came to the house, addressed to my father.

It was on this yellowed piece of paper that looked like it might as well have been 100 years old.

There was a letter written by Janaki Amal, who was a widow of the Indian mathematician Ramanujan.

And she thanked my father for making a small gift to help commission a statue in memory of Ramanujan.

100

And me, seeing my dad cry, and he never cried.

101

He was very, almost no emotions.

102

This letter brought him to tears, and he brought this letter to me afterwards.

103

I have to tell someone what this is about.

104

So Ramanujan, it turned out, I learned that day, was a mystic, an autodidact.

105

He had visions of mathematics that his goddess, he believed, gave him gifts of formulas that he would write down in his notebooks.

106

Because of his passion for mathematics, he didn't study in any of his other courses, so he ended up flunking out of college twice.

107

He had my dad talking about someone who was a two-time college dropout,

108

but had left behind three notebooks filled with formulas that he was studying himself.

109

And I only learned later, one of the reasons that my father was

110

so in love with the story of Ramanujan is because Ramanujan had actually represented hope for him,

111

his one chance in life as a Japanese mathematician post-World War II.

112

My father wanted to be a mathematician, but he went to college at a time when the world was at war.

113

He loved mathematics as a way of escaping from long lines waiting for food.

114

In the aftermath of World War II,

115

the United States sent some of their best mathematicians to Japan to rebuild the universities and train the mathematicians.

116

My father first learned about Ramanujan at the conference where he was discovered by a Princeton professor

117

who invited him to study with him at Princeton, launching his career.

118

Ramanujan died a very early age at 32.

119

He was nearly forgotten, and the mathematicians of the world contributed small gifts to give Mrs. Romanudgen the statue

120

that the government had promised her in 1920.

121

That letter and a photograph that she shared with us of the statue,

122

it represented him remembering what it was like for him to struggle and the moment where he got his chance.

123

So what did Romanudgen mean to me that day?

124

It gave me hope in the following.

125

It was the first time I heard my parents say and look up to, like a hero, someone who hadn't gone to Harvard or Princeton and was a perfect student.

126

On the contrary, it turned out my father's hero was a two-time college dropout.

127

And I needed that.

128

Later at the University of Chicago, I was a horrible student.

129

But right before my senior year, flipping through the channels on the television,

130

I saw a video, public broadcasting service documentary about Ramanujan, who I hadn't thought about in years.

131

And I was fascinated

132

because here on In Color on TV was more than the vaguest of outlines about Ramanujan that my dad told me.

133

There was the whole story.

134

And it kind of jump-started me.

135

I had a lot of catching up to do.

136

There I became a good student.

137

and it was then when the biography of Ramanujan came out called The Man Who Knew Infinity.

138

Maybe it was a sign.

139

Maybe I was meant to follow Ramanujan.

140

And so I started to work on a thesis based on his work

141

and I'm so glad I made that choice

142

because by the end of my PhD what I worked on was called the theory of Galois representations

143

which was meant to study Ramanujan's backwater mathematics.

144

But by 1993, the bombshell news in mathematics for the end of the 20th century was a proof of Frommas' last theorem.

145

And the proof of Frommas' last theorem depend on these Galois representations.

146

I don't know what it is.

147

Following Ramanujan every time he appeared has been like the best decision I've ever made in my life.

148

And every one of those could could have gone a different way.

149

So one important theme about Ramanujan for me is where would we be?

150

And I don't mean just me as a mathematician.

151

Where would we all collectively be had he not been discovered?

152

That is a world I cannot fathom.

153

And because of that, you're left wondering, there must be other Ramanujans walking planet Earth.

154

Maybe they don't come from privilege.

155

How do we find them?

156

and how do we nurture them when we find them.

157

I was lucky enough for a number of years to run a program called the Spirit of Ramanujan, where we looked for undiscovered talent.

158

And what's interesting about this, my boss, my former student, Karina Hong, studied with me in a research program.

159

She was one of our first recipients.

160

We discovered her.

161

Makes me wonder where she would be today had she not received this Spirit of Ramanujan Fellowship.

162

There are, I am sure, many, many undiscovered folks that we need to find.

163

I think the idea, the ability and the potential to be someone like Romanogen, or at least creative in a productive way, I think it resides in us all.

164

You just have to give students of all ages the opportunity to A, be brave enough to act on their curiosity,

165

and then offer them a system that embraces it.

166

Some of your best students in Korea, the best students in the United States, the best students worldwide, they're stressed out in high school.

167

They're probably even stressed out in middle school, worrying about how do I get into the right high school?

168

How do I get into the right college?

169

Will I get the right test scores?

170

If you're motivated to participate in those just because they are checkboxes, that's messed up.

171

And I'm not saying that you shouldn't do that because I don't want to be ignorant and say,

172

don't participate in the system that will ultimately decide your fate with regard to college

173

but pause and recognize you're participating in that system.

174

Education starts with inspiring people to want to know more about the world in which they live,

175

wanting to know more about the cultures of the world

176

because we share the world together

177

and appreciate what is different in other parts of the world and in other cultures because that's why I went to college.

178

I wanted to learn about those things.

179

That's why I travel the world.

180

If you have children that are infants, how wonderful is it to play with them, say with like a stack of boxes or building blocks.

181

Play for children is science.

182

They're not really learning about gravity, but they're really learning about gravity.

183

They may pile blocks on top of the udder and knock them over and giggle and they'll do it again.

184

Think about how wonderful the world is

185

when you get to learn about it without worrying about what your future and what your reputation will be.

186

I want when my students are in my class to say this is a wonderful class Professor Ono

187

because the subject is beautiful and I do my very best to try to get that across.

188

But I'm not a fool.

189

I know

190

that I'm participating in a system where at the end of

191

the day the students are worried am I going to get an A

192

or not and how will that impact my ability to go to graduate school in math

193

or medical school or law school because that gpa is

194

so important and i hate that i utterly hate

195

that why it's an opportunity lost what i like about ai

196

and this is actually how i transitioned from being devastated by

197

ai has already read my papers it understands my papers better

198

than i remember them think of all the subjects in adjacent areas of mathematics that I could just ask AI about.

199

And AI is not going to laugh at me and it, as a great librarian, will dutifully answer any question I would ask.

200

The access to knowledge, if you are privileged enough to have access to the internet

201

and you are privileged enough to be able to afford access to a large language model, knowledge quickly became cheap.

202

In the United States it could cost $80,000 to spend one year attending a university.

203

And here's the dirty secret.

204

I could learn everything that you could learn book-wise, academically from a large language model at my own pace,

205

probably accelerated with a large language model.

206

What I would not get would be the human access, how the right questions were derived, what the next questions in the field might be.

207

That's why we still go to college and that's why we still need professors.

208

But all of the other stuff, the tutoring, the precision learning that AI can help with.

209

I actually believe that we in this world aren't doing the best we can at educating our children.

210

And I don't say that to be critical of educators.

211

I am an educator, but it's always a treat to visit a kindergarten class,

212

a first grade class, when it's bring your parent to school day so they can talk about what they do.

213

Oh, I know all the prime numbers, or I'm really good at adding that wonder, and I want to just bottle up this energy.

214

Because if we could maintain that wonder in the world, and the energy that children have when everything around them is new,

215

think about where we would be today.

216

So go find your passion.

217

The best scientists in the world need to still view the world as a wondrous thing.

218

The best doctors in the world still need to recognize

219

that what they practice is supposed to come from a place of benevolence, not, I have this practice, but I'm a university professor that happens to be,

220

has a clinical practice, and I'm going to write articles about my patients.

221

I think that's messed up.

222

If we pay so much attention on and value so much perfection and speed in ordinary test taking,

223

then how are we training someone to be the next Einstein?

224

or the next you-name famous professor was just wondering out loud in their lab, I wonder if such and such is true.

225

For my children, I want them to be passionate about the world that they live in.

226

And if you're passionate about the world that you live in, then you're deeply worried about the climate.

227

You're deeply worried about the conflict that exists between different cultures, which there's wars all over the place.

228

How can that happen? who are the people that you really look up to the most?

229

Maybe they are the oddballs.

230

In my country, in the United States, where education is so expensive, you could come out of college with $150,000 in debt,

231

and then you may go on to a professional school accruing another $200,000 in debt, and then three years later discovering, I can't stand the sight of blood,

232

but now I can't leave my profession because I have all of these loans.

233

that is purgatory.

234

You then are stuck.

235

And that's when your life is, well, I go to work because it pays the bills.

236

Who owns your identity?

237

You do.
