Why learn math concepts when AI can solve the problems for you?
Humans work at the intersection of many disciplines (real-world, mathematical, human aspects, etc.). AI can solve a properly framed math problem, but humans are the ones translating an inter-disciplinary problem into an AI-solvable one.
And, to translate for AI, humans need a certain fidelity of language. Math concepts are the vocabulary of that language. For example, we cannot talk about Galois theory without understanding the concepts of groups, rings or factor rings.
On a related note, here is a nice talk by Prof. Ken Ono on a need for a sense of wonder, human aspects and critical thinking in K-12 mathematical learning....https://nctm.buzzsprout.com/2319425/episodes/19020004
