Comment
Upon hearing the news that AI model solved the Navier-Stokes Millennium problem: Why do we devote ourselves to solving the long-standing open problems ? Is it the solution itself that truly matters, or is it the journey—the experience of roaming freely through the world of thought? We may find an answer in the following words from Morris Kline’s foreword to Bertrand Russell’s celebrated book <An Essay on the Foundations of Geometry>: “The insolvable problems continually entice the human mind and the greatest intellectual pleasures are derived from the constant striving after elusive truth. The works of great minds keep the problems before our eyes and prevent us from sinking into mental lethargy.“ Indeed, the true meaning of mathematics lies in keeping the human spirit awake.

Comment
1) Mathematics has traditionally been one of the most democratic intellectual activities. Talent, curiosity, and hard work matter far more than wealth or status. AI risks changing this. If access to the best mathematical tools depends on the ability to pay, then economic privilege becomes a significant advantage. The mathematical community should explicitly RESIST A FUTURE IN WHICH ACCESS TO MATHEMATICAL INQUIRY IS DETERMINED BY WEALTH. 2) AI use by beginners deserves caution. Effective prompting, evaluation of answers, and detection of errors require mathematical expertise that most students do not yet possess. For them, AI can encourage dependency and superficial understanding rather than genuine learning. Universities should be more critical of claims that AI is universally beneficial in mathematics education. 3) AI can be a useful encyclopedic aid, but successful use presupposes prior mathematical experience. Without a solid foundation, users may be unable to distinguish insight from plausible-sounding error. 4) AI can only be as good as the material on which it is trained. It performs best in areas with strong traditions of rigor and worst where low-quality work is common. A serious concern is a feedback loop: poor material produces more poor material. Garbage in, garbage out. Today's systems draw on centuries of carefully accumulated mathematical knowledge. Will future systems be able to say the same? 5) Mathematics is not primarily about obtaining answers. It is about achieving UNDERSTANDING. A proof is valuable because it provides insight and explanation, not merely because it establishes truth. Papers should communicate human understanding, not merely machine output. AUTHORSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY MUST REMAIN HUMAN, EVEN WHEN AI HAS BEEN USED AS A TOOL.

Comment
My interest and active engagement with mathematics is fundamentally because of the people and communities I have been fortunate to interact with. I find little meaning in mathematics without the people who create, explore, debate, and disseminate it; this fundamentally human core cannot be lost.
Comment
The recent developments concerning the Navier—Stokes millennium problem have shown that this declaration is dearly needed and adhering to it is required by all bodies mentioned. Indeed, not so much an apparent solution (as of now still pending peer-scrutiny) of one of the Clay problems but rather the discussion that came with it show the complicated entanglement of mathematical research, personal interests, the question of resources and the tendency of AI companies being potentially problematic as being more or less commercial interest led endeavours in the whole discourse that is the centre of this declaration. Hence, I wholeheartedly signed this declaration.
