AI professors are navigating the challenges posed by the dominance of private companies in AI research, particularly regarding large language models which universities cannot afford to train or access in detail. Despite funding opportunities from the AI2050 program, many researchers are shifting their focus to less commercially viable questions and specialized AI applications, while concerns grow about the future of pure mathematics in light of advancements in AI.
