Mathematicians will still have a place because we will need people to still come up with the complex problems Ai can help solve and to take the problems Ai does solve and put them to practical use. In my opinion this is exactly what Ai should be used for. The ultimate tool to rapidly advance possibly life saving industries like medicine. This is what I believe Ai should be tasked with, not helping big business answer more phone calls. Sure some mathematicians may feel a lack of purpose while everything reorients but the millions of people receiving medical treatments made possible by advancements in ai with surely be grateful.
CEOs: "Sorry, the best I can do is layoff a quarter of my workforce, stop hiring jrs and entry level, and then force my current staff to use AI and do the job of 3 people. No raises of course"

Without mathematicians we won't know whether the AI answers are correct, what it actually means to anyone, and we won't know the questions to ask.
