L-functions are ubiquitous objects in number theory that encode important information about prime numbers or other arithmetic objects
of interest. The Riemann hypothesis is a strong statement about the zeros of the Riemann zeta function with implications regarding the distribution of primes.

I'll talk about results on zeros of L-functions on the 1/2-line and problems that are just out of reach.

There will be no discussion of whether AI can solve the Riemann Hypothesis.
