    The rise of artificial intelligence raises serious risks for the future of the field of mathematics and profession of mathematician, which must be carefully considered

    Comment

    While I am not a practicing mathematician, I fully endorse this declaration, as I am starting to see AI in my field, dredging production engineering.

    Comment

    As others have said, mathematics is a human activity centered on human understanding and communication of that understanding. Generative AI and LLMs must not be allowed to supplant that basic foundation. They should enter the field primarily as objects of study and only secondarily as tools, given sufficient understanding coming from the former.

    Comment

    I’m signing this important decleration because I think AI is already starting to affect how we do mathematics, and we should be part of shaping that conversation. We need clear community norms that keep rigor, transparency, and proper credit at the center. Many thanks to the creators of this declaration for taking the initiative.

    Comment

    I'm a math popular science blogger, self-media operator and translator. I fully endorse the values, implementation requirements and normative principles laid out in this Leiden Declaration, and join the community to embrace this golden age of mathematics shaped by AI, brimming with boundless opportunities and challenges. Let us join hands to further explore more application scenarios and possibilities of artificial intelligence in mathematics.

    Comment

    This has been the result of months of community input about the fundamental values and goals of the mathematical community. In retrospect, these were questions we should have been systematically discussing years ago, but in any event the exercise was extremely valuable, and the end result is excellent. I wholeheartedly endorse the statements and recommendations in this declaration.

    Comment

    I endorse the principles set out in this declaration and commend the practical, evidence-based work behind it. The result is a highly persuasive document that avoids hype and false narratives to focus on the urgent and existential issues. Mathematics can benefit enormously from AI, but the greater the potential, the greater the need to manage it carefully. We need every mathematician on board!

    This declaration underscores the central importance of community understanding and curiosity-driven research for the human endeavor of mathematics. I am especially appreciative of the guidance around attribution for mathematical ideas learned from interacting with AI tools.

    Comment

    I am particularly concerned for early-stage career mathematicians (including myself) by the impact that this technology will have on their professional trajectories in the short and medium term. They will be hit the hardest by all this FOMO. Besides the excellent points raised by the declaration, I personally believe that Mathematics and mathematical ideas thrive in slowness, which is antipodal to this Silicon Valley delusion based on hysteric speed and production.

    Comment

    I strongly endorse the Leiden Declaration. As someone who straddles academia and industry, and as editor-in-chief of three peer-reviewed mathematics journals, I believe the timing of this declaration is critical. AI will increasingly shape how mathematics is discovered, communicated, verified, and valued. Its wide adoption must therefore be guided by principles that protect rigor, transparency, attribution, peer review, and the human culture of mathematics.

    The game is changing faster than we can play. It is paramount that leaders and those with concerns in our field express considered stances about what is happening, with appropriate warnings and topical recommendations. That is what this declaration is.
