    Comment

    The rapidly evolving nature of everything AI, has led Mathematicians to realize that they need to make their input visible and clear. It is us who need to fight to protect what has made our subject trustworthy. The Leiden Declaration calls on mathematicians to do exactly that.

    Comment

    AI is an important tool, like so many others, but we must not forget who the tool is for and what it serves. Above all, there must be ethical principles to protect humanity and life. And of course, mathematics and the scientific community, which uses it not only to describe and conceive knowledge, speak out with concern. This declaration is not just another one. It is a crucial declaration for the future of humanity.

    Mathematics is likely far ahead of the curve in having its field be turned upside down in the wake of this paradigm shifting technology, and the capital tsunami that accompanies it. This declaration is a wonderful distillation of your very valuable perspectives. Thank you.

    Comment

    As a student with great passion for mathematics, aspiring to become a researcher, who has already made their first steps, I endorse the Leiden Declaration and urge the mathematical community to use artificial intelligence with great responsibility, and furthermore to consider moral values critical for the integrity of the field, so that other young mathematicians like myself may experience the beauty of the field as a deeply human domain.

    I consider my declaration to be extensible to any analytical-reasoning activity where responsibility and or authorship are relevant

    Comment

    Joining collective efforts, specially in regard to new disruptive technologies such as AI, is a must if we want to align these new technologies with our community-values. Although the declaration (and its signing) by itself is not enough, signing serves as a strong signal regarding the values of the mathematical community towards the rest of the world and it is a first step towards more radical actions.

    We should also think of implementing tools to make sure only authorised bots (e.g. the WayBack machine) can scrape journals and ArXiv

    Comment

    I find this Declaration both timely and sound. As the director of an engineering school in computer science and applied mathematics, I would add that the same stakes apply to how we teach mathematics. Future engineers and mathematicians must still acquire, for themselves, the ability to construct and verify a proof, and the judgment to assess what automated tools could produce. If we let students delegate mathematical reasoning before they have mastered it, we erode the very understanding on which the future of the discipline depends. Teaching in the age of AI means equipping students to use these tools critically, not to depend on them.

    Comment

    I am delighted to see this timely initiative on protecting and celebrating mathematical precision of thought. While they may augment real-world human judgement and understanding with incomplete information, computational tools including AI are unlikely to ever replace them.

    Comment

    This is a timely and very important declaration. As an early career researcher, I wholeheartedly agree with its statements, especially those regarding fair and ethical use of AI, its disproportional threat to early career researchers, and its potential long-term impact on what we value as mathematicians.
