Once, I asked ChatGPT which field of study it found most difficult. Its reply was clear: mathematics, physics, and philosophy.

On May 14, 2025, however, Google DeepMind released AlphaEvolve, an AI capable of tackling core unsolved problems in mathematics and physics. With that, the last stronghold against AI is reduced to a single discipline: philosophy.

Philosophy is dominated by abstract concepts, the products of imagination rather than calculation. This makes it uniquely resistant to imitation by AI, whose essence lies in replication and pattern recognition. Yet we must also face the paradox: imagination has already been captured in fields like art—novels, poetry, painting, music—where AI now rivals human creativity. To remain silent in philosophy, then, would be to surrender too easily. This is why we must pursue an AI philosophy: to develop the one mode of thought that AI cannot easily subsume, and to set as its goal the invention of ways to transcend AI itself.

But “defeating AI” must not mean waging war against it. Rather, it should mean learning to collaborate effectively with AI, to expand human potential through partnership. In this light, even ambitious social experiments such as a universal basic income may find real grounding, supported by the coexistence of human imagination and machine intelligence.

Philosophy, then, is not simply the last fortress standing. It is the discipline that must guide us in shaping the terms of our future—one in which humans and AI meet not as enemies, but as companions in the ongoing pursuit of wisdom.
