Season 2 Recap: From Gödel to AI-Proved Math | aboutlogic #22

October 07, 2026

Season 2 Recap: From Gödel to AI-Proved Math | aboutlogic #22 Nine guests, four emerging themes, and one big question running through all of it: what happens to mathematics when symbolic reasoning and statistical AI finally meet? In this Season 2 recap, Thorsten Altenkirch and Deniz Sarikaya look back at conversations with Urs Schreiber, Joel David Hamkins, Dana Scott, Emily Riehl, Bernhard Fisseni, Bernhard Schröder, José Pérez Escobar, Jan von Plato, Mike Shulman, Tudor Achim, and Neil Ghan...

aboutlogic: premises #09 | Why Symbolic AI Failed — and Then Won

September 30, 2026

Why Symbolic AI Failed — and Then Won | aboutlogic Premises #09 Symbolic AI — "GOFAI" — was meant to be the foundation of machine intelligence, and it failed spectacularly in the 1980s. In this premises episode, Thorsten and Deniz explore why, and how statistical AI, the technology that replaced it, may now be quietly bringing symbolic reasoning back — including a Platonic twist: if Plato thought the world of ideas came first, modern AI suggests structure and reasoning actually emerge only a...

aboutlogic #21 | Category Theory Meets Agentic AI | Neil Ghani (Kodamai)

September 23, 2026

Category Theory Meets Agentic AI | Neil Ghani (Kodamai) Why does almost all agentic AI today run completely untyped — even though 40 years of type theory and category theory research says that's a mistake? Neil Ghani, Co-Founder of Kodamai, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Strathclyde and a world-leading authority in Applied Category Theory, joins Deniz and Thorsten to explain how the same mathematical structures used to reason about data types can bring trustworthiness, sca...
