Find an unsolved problem
Use AI to solve it
Have AI teach you how it was solved
Bide your time, pretend to solve it on your own
Get that sweet Field medal!

(6. Get exposed as a fraud when you can't solve other related problems)

(7. Leave town with your medal and start a new life)

Honestly to get the Fields medal, you have to solve a problem so complex even the top tier mathematicians on this planet can't know for sure you solved it. Look at how long it took to prove Fermat's last theorem was actually solved (and it wasn't the first time he tried)
