We need such dialogue among professionals and others about our future with AI.

Comment
I find it amazing how such relatively simple models for the brain perform so well at tasks so far thought to be doable by humans only. This includes mathematical reasoning, and I am sure that these systems are here to stay. But on how they should be used in mathematical research, I wholeheartedly endorse the values and recommendations formulated out in this declaration. (Among the very real threats, I found that cognitive offloading might have been also included more prominently. Just like it is now very tempting for students to ask an LLM to do their homework, it will also be increasingly tempting for research mathematicians, and researchers in other areas, to delegate to a machine thinking that they would previously have done themselves. I am concerned about the long-term effects that this will have on our minds, and on humanity as a whole.)

Comment
A good initiative! But I'd suggest we use a more open and collaborative attitude towards industry and government. "Don’t believe the hype", "Regulate the artificial intelligence industry", ... maybe we can use better phrases (less emotional, more scientifically evidenced) to encourage the stakeholders to talk and find a solution together.

Comment
I am optimistic about the positive impact of AI on mathematics, and this includes making us rethink our role as mathematicians in society. But to move forward, it is important to identify and mitigate potential threats, such as impaired creativity because AI pushes us toward its own patterns of reasoning. This declaration brings up essential topics the community should address. [post written with assistance of ChatGPT to sound like a native speaker.]

Comment
The Leiden Declaration comes at the right time and provides much needed recommendations to individual mathematicians, organizations and policy makers. I wholeheartedly endorse the recommendations in the Declaration. I view this as a great start -- now that we have found some sense of directions, the next step is for the mathematics community to take collective actions to maintain the integerity of mathematics as a human endeavor.

Comment
MATHEMATICS (My definition don’t blame anyone else): The ART of CREATING WAYS to HANDLE INFORMATION. As such, there are no rules other than those desired by Mathematicians to accomplish whatever purpose they have in mind. All living things must handle the information from their environment for survival. Except for humans, the WAYS are provided by evolution. Human requirements have outstripped evolution so all humans are forced to become Mathematicians. However, most use methods of little interest to others. Professional Mathematicians on the other hand develop ways which can be of wider interest. Computers only follow rules and algorithms, so even with AI are not at this time really doing mathematics, but simply a very complex version of calculation, and If they get to the level of GAI with human level AI, then the mathematics they produce is not guaranteed to be of interest to humans, and suffers from all the issues detailed in the LEIDEN DECLARATION, many of which are clearly dangerous.

Comment
I have signed the Leiden Declaration on AI in Research because I believe that artificial intelligence should strengthen, rather than replace, the fundamental principles of scholarship. As a researcher working at the intersection of network science, computational social science, and AI-assisted methodologies, I view AI as a powerful tool for discovery, synthesis, and scientific productivity. At the same time, scientific responsibility, intellectual accountability, transparency, reproducibility, and critical judgment remain irreducibly human responsibilities. The challenge before us is not whether AI should be used in research, but how it should be used. The future of science will be shaped not by a choice between humans and AI, but by thoughtful collaborations that combine computational capabilities with human understanding, creativity, and ethical responsibility. I therefore support the Leiden Declaration's call for preserving the values of scholarly inquiry while embracing the opportunities created by rapidly advancing AI technologies.

While the recommendations may be underwhelming and prove insufficient, I consider the declaration's identification and description of values and threats to be urgent and valuable.

A new era of human-AI collaboration in mathematical research has truly arrived. It is foreseeable that AI will continue to evolve. Friends, embrace the change!

Comment
Humans must restrict the development and application of AI, and it is best to design a clear framework. I believe this kind of restriction applies not only in the field of mathematics but across all domains.

Comment
given the times we live in, where universal values are strongly shaken, mathematics turns out to be the most universal and valid asset humanity has created. Assuming the responsibility of having created the "machines", it is the duty of all mathematicians to be extremely aware of the capacity of AI and reflect continuously about its limits. Mathematicians should learn and teach more about the works of people like Gödel, Tarski, Church. Mathematics departments should interact more with language and philosophy departments. They should be involved in the development of the language used for humans versus the machines. The term "human mathematician" is a pleonasm and should disappear before it spreads. Only human beings can be mathematicians as only human beings can be philosophers.

Comment
A much needed document. As Jacobi said, "The object of mathematics is the honor of the human spirit." One of the serious problems with technological tools is that such tools can reduce human agency. Another risk is that we become unwitting participants in an advertising campaign.

Comment
Every result in Mathematics should be categorized as (one of these): - HUMAN verified (standard) or - AI verified. Alternatively, if not verified by humans, every AI claim in Mathematics should be classified as: AI Mathematics. D.J.
