Prabhakar Raghavan, Chief Technologist at Alphabet Google, delivered a keynote at the SIGMOD 2026 conference on June 1, 2026, titled "Can AI assist in Mathematics and Computer Science research?" During the talk, he discussed Alpha Evolve, an AI system that uses large language models to generate programs that produce mathematical proofs, noting that the system operates autonomously in a single shot run. He also addressed concerns about AI displacing human workers, saying he does not view displacement as a primary concern and citing historical essays from around 1830 that used similar language about human obsolescence, arguing that humans adapt to new activities over time. On August 8, 2026, Raghavan participated in a fireside chat at the Gajendra Circle Conference, where he discussed career adaptability and leadership. He said that careers spanning 50 to 60 years will involve multiple paradigm shifts, requiring individuals to embrace change proactively rather than waiting for disruption. He also proposed that the traditional "three Rs" of reading, writing, and arithmetic be transposed to "three C's" for the current era: curiosity, critical thinking, and communication. During the session, he referenced his past work at IBM, Yahoo, and Google, and shared an anecdote about once shoving Roger Federer aside when his path was blocked.

Abstract: In this talk we share our experience using LLMs to prove new results in mathematics and computer science. While it is too soon to derive definitive conclusions about the power of AI in Math/CS research, these results show promise. Specifically, we describe our experience with AlphaEvolve, an evolutionary language model from Google Deepmind, and suggest that our results in the theory of inapproximability and Ramsey theory could not have been discovered by hand. Bio: Prabhakar Raghavan is the Chief Technologist at Google. He was previously Senior Vice President for Google’s Knowle…
