    When A.I. Comes for Your Purpose in Life

    Artificial intelligence has gone from struggling with basic arithmetic to helping solve some of mathematics’ most famous open problems — and the field is reckoning with what that means. Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University, describes the excitement and grief of watching A.I. take on work that gives people a sense of purpose — and asks what could be lost if machines deliver answers without the human struggle, insight and understanding that make solving problems meaningful. Guest: Steven Strogatz, a professor of mathematics at Cornell University who writes for The New York Times about the future of research. Background reading:  Mathematics isn’t just a game to let A.I. solve — history shows why.A.I. is mastering the kinds of projects that have long helped to build the careers of young mathematicians. What does that mean for their future?Steven Strogatz’s forthcoming book: Big Math.Photo: Ian C. Bates for The New York Times For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

    The Israeli Film Directors Pushing for a Reckoning in Their Home Country

    The documentary film “NAZA,” which investigates the methods the Israeli military has used in the war in Gaza since the Hamas-led attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, received a record-breaking standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival last month. Just a few days later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would propose legislation that could revoke the directors’ Israeli citizenship, arguing that they had defamed their country. Now, with a global theatrical release underway, the directors spoke with “The Daily” to discuss the film and all the pushback that it — and they — have experienced.
