Do you consider the invention of the Chomsky hierarchy to lie outside the field of math?
Don’t know. Maybe a resident mathematician would chime in.
I don’t hold economists in very high regard but I would expect that one of them did contribute at least a little bit in physics.
I am not aware of any. Possibly something minor, who knows.
But to come back to the topic of AI. A math expert working in some obscure subfield of math could plausible do something that advances AI a lot without being an AI expert himself.
Yes, indeed, that sounds quite plausible. Whether this something is important enough to be potentially dangerous is a question to be put to an expert in the area.
