Augmented Mind Podcast
@augmind_fm
The AM Podcast highlights technical human-centered AI research by interviewing the leading minds. Hosted by @EchoShao8899 @shannonzshen @michaelryan207









Since we launched @augmind_fm, many people have asked us how we manage it. On this Wednesday (6/17 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM PDT), our own @shannonzshen will join @FounderCoHo to share how we take on the nearly impossible job for a small three-person team with the help of AI. 🔗 in 🧵 In a way, this whole experience has become an interesting "self case study" in the very vision we promote on the podcast: AI that genuinely augments people, rather than replacing them. We’re excited to exchange thoughts with you in the livestream!

"AI may have the answers, but mathematics has the questions." With all the recent excitement around AI for math, many start to wonder: can mathematics be automated? And what does it mean to learn and understand math? For EP5, we're thrilled to talk with Prof. Jeremy Avigad, philosopher & mathematician @CarnegieMellon and one of the early forces behind 3w. This episode features rich technical discussions on AI & mathematics, as well as many touching moments where Jeremy shares his vision for the future of mathematicians, math education, and mathematics itself. Outline: 0:00 - Teaser 1:04 - Monologue 2:50 - The Historical Landscape of AI for Mathematics 7:28 - Formalization and Computer-Aided Proof 11:56 - The Birth of the Lean Project 21:21 - Lean Blueprint, Model Training with Lean, Using Lean in Agentic Systems 29:48 - Making AI Actually Useful for Mathematicians 32:46 - How AI is Changing Mathematics 36:29 - "It's Our Mathematics, and Us Doing Mathematics" 43:04 - The Verification Gap in Human-AI Collaboration 47:46 - The Future of Math Education 52:23 - Capital, Startups, and the Mathematicians' Ecosystem 1:01:08 - Predictions





In EP5, we're thrilled to talk with Prof. Jeremy Avigad. Jeremy is a math philosopher at @CarnegieMellon and early contributor to LEAN. With all the recent math AI advances, it's inspiring to hear why he has tremendous faith in mathematics and how AI can augment us. Preview:
