Mathematics is at the core of artificial intelligence, from the linear algebra that powers deep learning to the probability and optimization driving new algorithms. We will explore how mathematical ideas can open new directions for AI innovation and how recent U.S. AI policy trends are shaping research priorities. Together, these perspectives reveal opportunities for mathematicians to influence the design and future of AI technologies.
