AI Three Questions: The Intersection of Mathematics and AI — Infinite Possibilities!}

Forum Name: The Mathematical Boundaries and Fundamental Reconstruction of AI Forum

Date: July 26, 2025, 14:30–17:30

Location: Shanghai Expo Exhibition Hall, Conference Room 1

To delve into core AI questions, WAIC has prominently proposed the “Three Questions of AI”—focusing on the frontiers of mathematics, science, and modeling.

Mathematics questions involve axioms and formulas to build cognitive frameworks; science questions are rooted in empirical evidence to explore natural essence; model questions integrate both, transforming abstractions into practical tools.

The synergy of these three questions highlights how mathematics quantifies science, assigns meaning to it, and models drive intelligent applications, revealing deep innovation across fields.

As large models enter deep water, AI’s demand for foundational theories reaches unprecedented levels, and mathematics, the basis of all computation, is experiencing its own “moment of brilliance.”

Join us on July 26, 14:30–17:30, at the 2025 World AI Conference (WAIC), for the “Mathematical Boundaries and Fundamental Reconstruction of AI” forum at Shanghai Expo Hall.

This forum is organized by the Shanghai Putuo District Government and Feishu China, hosted by the Shanghai AI Industry Association, and guided by the WAIC Organizing Committee Office. It gathers international mathematicians, AI experts, supercomputing engineers, and investment representatives to discuss topics like “AI×Math” mutual driving, future AGI pathways, and global research collaboration.

Five Highlights: When Math Meets AI at the Pinnacle of Intelligence

Highlight 1: Leading Experts’ Keynote Speeches from Global Research Hubs

Academics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Swiss National Supercomputing Center, Cornell University, Royal Spanish Academy, and UCLA will share insights on large language model optimization, machine learning security, adversarial modeling, mathematical investment, and spectral methods, bridging “Math for AI” and “AI for Math” to reshape the computational landscape of the intelligent era.

Highlight 2: First Cross-National Pairing of Young Mathematicians

At the forum, an “International Summer School Student and Shanghai University Student Pairing Ceremony” will be held, with 10 young students from international summer schools and Shanghai universities, witnessed by city leaders and overseas guests, fostering international exchange and collaboration among young talents in the AI era.

Highlight 3: Launch of Two International Math Labs in China

Initiated by the Fields Institute and ICMAT (Spanish National Mathematics Institute), these high-level labs will be unveiled in China with the participation of the Putuo District Government, focusing on fundamental research at the intersection of mathematics and intelligence, creating new international research platforms.

Highlight 4: Expert Roundtables on Core Challenges in AI and Math

Two intensive roundtable discussions will feature renowned scholars and industry leaders debating topics like “Is AI a siege for mathematicians or a breakthrough?” and “Are breakthroughs in mathematical theory the key to AGI?” to explore cognitive boundaries in the AI age.

Highlight 5: Global Call for Unsolved Math Problems

The forum will officially release “Unsolved Problems” in AI+Math, inviting global solutions in collaboration with the Fields Institute and ICMAT. It will also showcase “human-AI collaboration” problem-solving cases, exploring new paradigms of mathematician-AI synergy.

The key to the intelligent era is being forged, and the next math challenge awaits your solution!

Meanwhile, the “Questions of Math” series has already begun. On July 10, the Shanghai AI Industry Association and Feishu China hosted the “When Math Meets Large Models: Summit of Top Global Minds,” gathering mathematicians from ICMAT, Fudan University, ShanghaiTech, and tech experts from major companies to discuss AI model structures, training mechanisms, and mathematical reasoning. Several challenging math problems were proposed, with initial responses from industry teams, sketching the “Math for AI” problem landscape and providing a theoretical foundation for this forum.
