There's a new paper from Facebook AI research:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.01412

8 GPUs and a few hours of training and the neural network can already solve
symbolic integration tasks humans and Mathematica, Maple and Matlab cannot.

Interesting if the same phenomenon appeared in mathematics as in Go:
professionals studying results from an AI -based algorithm trying to
understand new techniques it has discovered.

This seems like an interesting field similar to Go: huge set of possible
inputs, lots of supposed creativity required to obtain correct result in
complicated cases, hundreds of years of human research to reach the status
quo, and a win condition (one of often many possible correct outputs in
this case) that is easily checked.
