Living Proof: the Isaac Newton Institute podcastAuthor: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences
The Isaac Newton Institute is the world's foremost mathematical research centre. Living Proof aims to highlight the diverse people and interconnected topics linked to its many activities. Interviewees range from visiting academics and lecturers to mathematicians, other scientists, musicians, artists, students, and prominent figures within the University of Cambridge and beyond. The podcast typically involves mathematical themes, but is specifically aimed at a general audience. The focus is on the subjects being interviewed and the social stories they have to tell, not just on the significance and details of the research they may be undertaking. We hope there is interest and inspiration here for everyone.- The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (UK) is an international research centre based in Cambridge, UK. A part of the University of Cambridge, it has been hosting research programmes on mathematical themes since July 1992.

The mathematics underpinning AI with Gitta Kutyniok - Episode #79
Episode 6
Friday, 2 October, 2026
Send us Fan MailAI is fundamentally mathematical, and AI systems are changing what is possible in mathematics. This is a turbulent time for the field.We spoke with Professor Gitta Kutyniok, who visited the INI in August as part of the Operator methods for dynamical systems programme. An expert in the mathematics underpinning AI, she had a fascinating take on the impact of AI on research, education, and society more widely.Professor Kutyniok holds the Chair for Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence at LMU Munich, where she focuses on "the intersection of mathematics and artificial intelligence, aiming for both a mathematical understanding of artificial intelligence and artificial intelligence for mathematical problems."The episode was recorded on August 6, 2026.---This episode was supported by the quantitative research firm G-Research, which has launched a new series of mathematical puzzles called G-Riddles.
