    Comment

    The use of AI in science and mathematics is here to stay. What is in question is ownership. Are we willing to accept the collective labour of publicly funded research being appropriated by big AI companies? Or can we organize and fight to keep research publicly funded and publicly owned? I wholeheartedly support the Leiden Declaration, but we need more. We need publicly run and publicly owned AI resources; otherwise, we are bound to be rendered subservient to AI companies, whom we pay and for whom we do research.

    Comment

    AI provides new opportunities and can potentially accelerate research, but must be used appropriately and ethically, in the context of the disciplines where it is used.

    Comment

    The declaration is a timely call to arms for recasting technology primarily developed from human creative output toward public good than private profit.

    These are thoughtful recommendations for each of mathematicians, organizations, and policy-makers, and I hope they set the ground for informed discussion on the subject.

    Comment

    Science and creative enterprises more generally are deeply human activities that should be protected with extreme care. Letting corporate entities make the decisions and do all the research behind closed doors is a scary experiment for many reasons.
