AI no match for innovative human minds, says mathematician winner of Hong Kong’s Shaw Prize


Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace humans as major innovations always come from the power of our minds, according to world-renowned mathematician Shing-Tung Yau, a winner of Hong Kong’s Shaw Prize this year.

The Tsinghua University professor picked up the prize in the mathematical sciences category for his life’s work, including the “Calabi-Yau manifolds”, which provided evidence to show that six “extra dimensions” might exist and was credited for its key role in the development of complex geometry.
