Will AI replace mathematicians?

#artificialintelligence 

Let's make the relevant question more personal: will machines replace me? I'm a mathematician; my profession is often seen from the outside as a very complicated but ultimately purely mechanical game played with fixed rules, like checkers, chess, or Go. These are activities in which machines have already demonstrated superhuman ability. But for me, math is different: it is a creative pursuit that calls on our intuition as much as our ability to compute.
