Abstract: This study examines the critical role of mathematics in the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on the Indian context. Through qualitative interviews with 15 experts in AI and mathematics, it explores the foundational importance of mathematical disciplines such as linear algebra, probability, statistics, calculus, and optimization techniques. These mathematical frameworks are instrumental in various AI applications, including natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. The study identifies systemic challenges in India, such as a lack of interdisciplinary collaboration, limited resources, and curriculum misalignment, which hinder the effective integration of mathematics into AI. Strategies to address these issues include incorporating AI modules into mathematics curricula, organizing practical workshops, and fostering industry-academia collaborations. Emerging trends like big data analytics, neural networks, and quantum computing highlight the evolving relationship between mathematics and AI, with significant implications for education and research. The findings contribute localized insights to the global literature, providing actionable recommendations to enhance India’s AI ecosystem. This research underscores the necessity of interdisciplinary education and targeted policy interventions to prepare professionals for AI's dynamic landscape, while also serving as a framework for similar studies in other regional contexts.
