    Comment

    I am pleased to support the Leiden Declaration. AI can assist mathematical research, but it must be governed by the values that sustain the discipline: rigor, transparency, attribution, open scrutiny, and human responsibility. Mathematics should remain a human practice guided by understanding, judgment, and ethical care.

    Comment

    There are exciting potentials in the technical ability of AI, but more concerning cultural and social issues. A broader discussion about what is important in mathematics (built off proof not simply proofs) is needed and this document is a powerful statement of that.

    Comment

    I wholeheartedly endorse the statements these fellow researchers have carefully prepared. I would also like to highlight that unbridled AI has and will continue to harm marginalized groups more than those who hold power in society. It's easy as mathematicians to disconnect from society at large and retreat to our nifty problems. I hope this declaration and others help rouse the community from its complacency to defend those who don't have a voice and make space for them.

    Comment

    This is a thoughtful and well-considered statement on a difficult and very important topic. I am very happy that it has appeared! AI is clearly changing our world and in particular prompting us to reaffirm the basic principles of mathematics. I believe AI can help and guide us in many ways, even in doing research-level mathematics. On the other hand, I am convinced that the classical mathematical argumentation plays thereby a crucial, even an essential role. I wish that we are able to figure out a good way how to place AI on top of a solid and honest mathematical education, one in which precision, intellectual honesty and critical thinking matters more than ever. This declaration is in my opinion an important step towards finding such a good way.

    Comment

    Free and open science is always worth fighting for. We, as a community, can't allow to let the power of discovery and research be available to only a few. We must ensure that the changes machine learning brings to our field are as open source and equitable as possible.

    Comment

    I fully endorse this declaration and I thank the working group for so carefully developing the elements therein. Mathematics is a human creation and should be for the benefit of humans. We who are fortunate should prioritize the well-being of the less fortunate in the world.

    Comment

    This declaration is excellent and timely. Our goal as mathematicians is not merely to obtain "results": it is to broaden and deepen human understanding of mathematics. As in other domains like health, education, and the legal system, AI use must be transparent and should not undermine humans' responsibility to be truthful, open, and ethical.
