    Comment

    It is paramount important that math researchers join in transparency and public accountability; especially because math is for most people a mystery. I would join in helping this. On the other side I would challenge to experience the collective emergent embodied intelligence which arises in Socratic Design Dialogs ( we have done this with scientist and business men).

    We shall protect the purest mathematics against the invasion of AI.How can we live if we lose the fountain of human intelligence?

    Comment

    The foundational mathematics underpinning artificial intelligence has evolved over hundreds of years, leaving a considerable divide between it and the cutting-edge of contemporary mathematics. In recent years, there has been a growing number of successful cases where artificial intelligence facilitates frontier mathematical research and technological development, which is truly inspiring. Meanwhile, modern mathematics can maximize its utility to help us comprehend and refine AI algorithms themselves. This mutually reinforcing synergy holds great promise for the advancement of human civilization as a whole. （The English above is translated by an AI named Doubao from my Chinese text: 支撑人工智能的基础数学理论已有数百年发展历史，与当下现代数学前沿之间仍存在显著断层。近年来，人工智能助力前沿数学探索与科技攻关的成功案例层出不穷，着实令人鼓舞；与此同时，现代数学亦能从根本上助力我们理解、优化人工智能算法。二者相辅相成、双向赋能，实为人类文明发展的重要契机。)

    Comment

    To realize the declaration's "Recommendations for commercial AI", critical dialog with corporations involved in the development and application of AI technologies will be required. It is important to recognize these corporations not as adversaries, but potential partners who may seek guidance on the ethical use of their technologies. Evidently not all corporations share our values equally, and it will be important to identify and appropriately endorse those that do, while attempting to transform those that don't (yet). This will require significant work for this group on governance, education, and policy making.

    Comment

    If one day, the algorithms underlying AI are fully rigorously understood, and the "black box" aspects of ML are completely elucidated, the proper role of AI in mathematics can be objectively delineated and defined. Until then, it is appropriate to exercise maximal caution in using a tool whose (imperfect and sometimes deceptive) effectiveness is only empirically observed but not rigorously understood in its foundations.

    Comment

    The future of mathematical research must be guided by human judgment, fair and transparent practices, and the shared values of the global mathematical community. We must ensure that progress serves humanity, rather than eclipsing it. Above all, mathematics is, and should always remain, a profoundly human endeavour.

    Comment

    Como signatario de la Declaración de Leiden, en representación de Bitia Ciberseguridad Integral y como Presidente de la Asociación Sinaloense de Ciberseguridad, respaldo este llamado de la comunidad matemática internacional a preservar la integridad, la transparencia y el juicio humano frente al avance acelerado de la inteligencia artificial. Aunque nuestro trabajo se sitúa en la ciberseguridad y la gobernanza de IA, encontramos en esta declaración principios universales que orientan toda práctica tecnológica responsable. La insistencia en que la responsabilidad por la corrección permanece exclusivamente en manos humanas, y nunca en los sistemas automatizados, coincide plenamente con el enfoque que defendemos bajo la norma ISO/IEC 42001: la tecnología asiste, pero no exime de responsabilidad. Compartimos también el llamado a divulgar de forma transparente el uso de herramientas automatizadas, a mantener estándares rigurosos de verificación frente a la prisa comercial, y a no sobreestimar las capacidades de los productos de IA. Suscribimos especialmente la preocupación por la autonomía y la soberanía tecnológica, así como el apoyo a infraestructura pública e independiente. Desde el Sur Global, sostenemos que la innovación responsable y la soberanía criptográfica son condiciones para una adopción de IA confiable y equitativa. Finalmente, hacemos nuestra la exigencia de evaluar las consecuencias éticas de estas tecnologías en contextos como la vigilancia masiva y el debilitamiento de la democracia. Adoptar la innovación sin renunciar a los valores que la hacen confiable no es una contradicción, sino el único camino sostenible. Firmo esta declaración con la convicción de que estos principios trascienden disciplinas y de que su defensa es una responsabilidad compartida.
