    Comment

    We are able to carry out research mathematics and get valuable feedback because mathematics is a community. We should think about how to protect this community.

    Comment

    We hope to preserve the very essence of mathematics—a discipline that demands deep thinking, continuous research, and the resilience to learn from failure. The widespread adoption of artificial intelligence tools threatens to undermine the foundational values upon which this science was built. As Paul Halmos wrote in his book I Want to Be a Mathematician: "Ask your own questions, look for your own examples, discover your own proofs." His advice centers heavily on the word "own"—a process of personal discovery that cannot simply be outsourced to AI. To be a great researcher, one must cultivate the ability to visualize, hypothesize, and patiently learn from mistakes. An overreliance on AI tools directly diminishes these essential human qualities. If this trajectory continues, we simply will not be able to cultivate the next generation of true mathematicians.

    The possible negative effects of AI on mathematics are not inevitable, but rather guided by our choices.

    I'm proud to participate in this declaration, seeking that the best interest of all humanity prevails. It is clear to me that this declaration has been carefully thought and written, and thus, it is with a firm conviction that I can sum myself to this document, which I hope becomes the manifest for Mathematicians and humanity at large.

    Comment

    I am an astronomer, not a mathematician, but I resonate with the comments that I have seen about preserving the soul of mathematics and human discovery. AI has tremendous long-term potential to evolve our understanding of the universe to an unfathomable degree. However, we develop our understanding through practice. The current structures of academia (and broader society, particularly through the decisions of large tech companies) incentivize us to sacrifice our sense of agency and purely become consumers of automatically generated and curated content. To me, this broader trend poses an existential threat to not just research, but also to the human soul of discovery, curiosity, and adventure itself. How can we give researchers the space to actually practice research--from idea generation in the broadest sense to the depths of problem solving--so that humanity does not lose our deep insight into the universe? How can we incentivize AI usage in a way that allows humans to evolve to a greater degree of understanding *through practicing the creative process* instead repeatedly defiling, devaluing, and destroying creativity as it currently seems to be doing? I am moved by the response of the mathematical community and wish to see something similar in my field. As an experimentalist, I find that one of the most magical human capabilities is to develop an idea and will it into existence through sheer effort. I want humans to retain this magic, and for mathematicians to continue upholding this cornerstone of human culture in their own way.

    With the use of generative AI becoming increasingly relevant in research spaces, this was a very required step in its regulation.
