    Comment

    I fully endorse this declaration. I am deeply troubled by the high potential for misuse of AI in society, and the incentives being used by some organisations to recruit people to work for causes that undermine society.

    I completely endorse Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics. It is clear that AI brings (very fast!) very powerful capabilities, and we should give our best to preserve the values of mathematical research and education, facing the threats and challenges. It is our responsibility as mathematical community.

    Comment

    The Leiden Declaration hits exactly my concern about the impact on the mathematical community from the vast development of AI capabilities. Human mathematical activity, since the time of ancient Greece, has constantly been valued as an indispensable part of philosophy. For thousands of years, wise natural philosophers and mathematicians have built the gigantic cathedral of present-day mathematics, though it is merely the tip of the iceberg. Mathematical exploration should always be regarded as the highest-quality cognitive work guided by human mathematicians, producing positive consequences for other disciplines of science and technology, as well as for the education system. As members of the mathematical community, we should be more collectively united in taking action on the technical impact on our community, protecting cultural value and intellectual property, as well as a healthy, sustainable ecosystem of mathematics.

    Comment

    Mathematical research is an inherently creative activity. As such, the time, effort and conversations required to reach a deep understanding of a mathematical challenge and, ultimately, to create new mathematics, are not problems to be figured out and solved. They are an expression of how deeply mathematics and human thinking are intertwined; a homage to the many curious minds that came before, work alongside and will come after us.

    Comment

    As an early-career researcher in computational mathematics, I can distinctly tell the major shift underway in my field subject to the AI boom. I fully endorse the necessity and recommendations laid out in the Leiden Declaration, and hope mathematicians across all subfields in China will take the time to read and engage with this document.

    Comment

    This is only a suggestion. Turning it into concrete regulations, practical guidelines, and meaningful changes in the future will require much more work.

    Comment

    A moratorium on the use of AI is needed. We must understand the consequences of what we are unleashing because at some point there will be no turning back, as the genie will be out of the bottle.

    Comment

    It is very important that the integrity of mathematics is not lost; we must maintain standards of rigour in mathematical proofs.
