Undergraduate? No. We've had calculators able to solve undergraduate problems for decades. AI doesn't change the need to understand how calculus works any more than calculators did. The foundations remain valuable.

Graduate? Yes.

How should graduate school be changed then? Specifically for mathematics

90% of the final grade are in room examinations with proctors, maybe two sets of exams of midterms and finals that the vast majority of the final grade comes from. This is already how most of East and South Asia does it anyways and it’s probably the best.

For publications and theses, as long as the final results hold and can be replicated and validated, I don’t see why we shouldn’t allow the wholesale use of LLMs

This is really just a glorified undergraduate education, the real point of graduate school is to learn to do real-world relevant research. For the latter, I think LLM use will be accepted but there will be a heavy expectation on the author of making the result very easily digestable for human mathematicians and linking it thoroughly with the existing literature - something that LLMs are very much not successful at, but a student might be able to do quite well with a mixture of expert guidance and personal effort.

Hell if I know. It's easy to see problems. Solutions are way harder. I'm not a math professor.
