    I have had my life positively affected by the human communities built around interest in mathematics, and I wish that myself and others can enjoy them for years to come.

    Comment

    Thank you for drafting this thoughtful declaration. It is our responsibility to ensure that mathematics will continue to thrive, with AI helping accelerate mathematical research and help us do deeper mathematics. We need to make sure, however, that the future of mathematics is not dependent on the good will of a couple of commercial entities.

    Comment

    The contributions of AI to mathematics have been excessively exaggerated and sensationalized in Chinese social media, to the point of causing occupational anxiety. This trend must be curbed.

    Comment

    The AI chatbots/“summaries” behave like loudmouth vandals with no manners. They show up uninvited, serve what they know without due credit to authors (whether by formal CC BY-SA or simple decency), and when they don’t, keep making up one wrong answer after another rather than acknowledge ignorance, even when asked to. They mislead students into believing that nothing is worth learning anymore, and to that end, completely misrepresent both the nature of mathematics (“problem solving” vs. creation of language and understanding) and their machines’ allegedly “unaided” successes. Their ethos to “get things wrong first and hope to fix later” is antithetical to ours as mathematicians.
