    Comment

    Mathematics is a deeply humane subject, just as art, and using AI to create it completely undermines that. People shouldn’t value papers written by AI in the same way they don’t value paintings created by AI.

    Comment

    The opportunity to leverage the latest technologies is undeniably powerful and appealing. However, unless they are used thoughtfully and responsibly, they can ultimately cause more harm than benefit.

    An important first step in raising awareness of serious problems generated by growth of AI. But the situation is much worse than described in the Declaration.

    Comment

    While AI can be helpful in routine mathematical tasks, including the preparation of introductory notes, the verification of lengthy calculations, the analysis of large datasets, the summarisation of newly published research within a given field of expertise, and support for writing, wether with the language semantics or the LaTeX code, it remains essential for authors to verify the reliability of any mathematical calculations generated with AI assistance, as well as the semantic accuracy of the language in which the text is written.

    As a trained mathematician who now works in the field of applied computer science, where I apply mathematical concepts and ideas in a variety of ways, I wholeheartedly endorse this statement—it comes at just the right time.

    Comment

    En solidaridad y concordancia con otras iniciativas de investigación y profesiones debemos tener en cuenta que las matemáticas no solo generan un conjunto de resultados, sino también comprensión, claridad y criterio entre las ciencias, lo que los han moldeado y permitido explicar una diversidad de fenómenos. En calidad de académico, considero que la Declaración de Leiden debe asumirse como un marco ético y estratégico para orientar la relación entre matemáticas e inteligencia artificial. Declaro lo siguiente: 1. Defensa de la integridad matemática: La demostración y la verificación independiente deben seguir siendo el núcleo de la práctica matemática, incluso cuando se empleen herramientas automatizadas. 2. Transparencia y responsabilidad: Todo uso de inteligencia artificial en investigación matemática debe ser divulgado explícitamente, con atribución clara a las fuentes humanas que lo hicieron posible. 3. Autonomía académica: La dirección de la investigación matemática no debe estar dictada por intereses corporativos ni por la facilidad de automatización, sino por el juicio experto de la comunidad científica. 4. Compromiso ético: Los matemáticos deben evaluar las consecuencias sociales y políticas de sus colaboraciones con la industria tecnológica, evitando contribuir a aplicaciones que fomenten la guerra, la opresión o la vigilancia masiva. 5. Colaboración inclusiva: La convergencia entre matemáticas e inteligencia artificial debe abrir espacios de cooperación interdisciplinaria, siempre bajo el respeto a los valores de rigor, transparencia y humanidad en la autoría.

    Comment

    This is a very relevant declaration that demonstrates how important it is to limit AI as a tool and not as the primary means of knowledge production, regardless of the field. With its rampant advancement, human life will lose its vibrancy and motivation to solve problems created by big tech companies that only aim for greater efficiency in order to generate exorbitant profits.

    Comment

    I am a mathematics student at the École normale supérieure in Paris. As a young explorer in the world of mathematics, I am concerned about its future. I believe it is important for the mathematics community to address the issue of AI, find a way to resolve it, and save our discipline. I fully endorse this statement.

    Comment

    It is vital that we, as mathematicians, maintain the highest ethical standards with regards to the use of AI in our work (and in everyday life). We must strive to understand the technology and use it in a way that advances our understanding of mathematics, and not use AI to just publish results that nobody understands. This document is a good start towards achieving this goal.
