Episode The mathematician taking on AI
Melbourne-born academic Tristan Buckmaster says he was maybe just one month away from solving the Navier-Stokes equation, a maths problem so difficult there was a million-dollar prize on offer for anyone who could.

Today we speak to Tristan about his dispute with Open AI and the future of mathematics.
