    Comment

    Machine learning will surely change mathematical research, take a look at what it's done to the games of chess and Go. It would be interesting to know how much it costs for a machine to prove a theorem. However, I don't see this as the main problem. Machine learning is a weapon of mass destruction for educating new generations to learn to think for themselves and gain a deep understanding of virtually any subject. I hope that this problem will gain more prominence in the near future.

    It is unlikely that I will use AI tools, being over 15 years in retirement. But my younger colleagues should use it in a responsible way.

    Comment

    I completely agree with Leiden declaration regarding AI on Mathematics. Although I am just a layman in Mathematical research, I suggest that mathematical creativity should be based on human intelligence together with the help of AI. Thanks a lot!

    Comment

    The computing power of AI does not absolve us of the duty to keep thinking. AI is a tool to empower skilled and knowledgable people, helping them tot rise above and beyond. Surrendering human ingenuity and creativity to AI is not only regrettable, it strips us of a meaningful existence.

    Comment

    Thank you so much for writing this declaration. It couldn't have come at a better time. Mathematics is an art, not a commodity, and its use in tech company marketing is a cause for concern, not celebration.

    Comment

    Mathematics for me is a uniquely beautiful aspect of the human quest to create meaning. Ultimately, the value of our search for AI derives from what it teaches us about ourselves. This declaration is a very welcome confluence of humans coming together to do what we do best. It represents a great lesson of congruence for our students. It demonstrates how a mathematical mindset can make a positive difference in the world.

    Comment

    I fully agree with the declaration. In my view, this statement can serve only as the prelude to a discussion regarding the role of AI in mathematics—that very discipline which itself counts among the origins of AI. Thus, we bear a share of the responsibility—even if most of us are not directly involved in this research—for a development that could culminate in an act of hubris: the creation of a new "Übermensch." And all of this without any form of democratic oversight. We need a kind of nuclear non-proliferation treaty that prohibits certain developments in AI. It is clear that this will not be easy. Yet this is the only way to ensure that the positive developments enabled by AI can flourish, while the safeguards outlined in the statement—along with further demands—are effectively implemented.
