Mathematics is made up of provable interesting statements about numbers, geometry and abstract structures. While proof can be precisely defined, interestingness remains mysterious, a matter of intuition. In this talk we discuss ways to implement interestingness on a computer, both in symbolic and formal terms, and using state of the art AI.
