    Comment

    I am convinced that many of our everyday duties as mathematicians (and in general as academics) are not done with full understanding of what we are doing, what we are supposed to do, and why. This includes (but not limits to) teaching, mentoring students, publishing, organizing academic events and participating in committees. By having conversations with peers we can see how different our common practices in these activities are. I have seen several efforts towards improving some practices that are considered defective (I have paid special attention to texts looking to improve our practices when giving mathematical talks). In my view, these efforts have been largely ignored and our practices tend to keep their course, even when there is much evidence of their negative impact on our community. To me, this declaration is one of the efforts to have good practices (to say it in mild terms) with respect to some specific aspects of our everyday work that are gaining interaction with AI. This time it seems like ignoring this and other efforts may have drastic consequences in the short future for our community. I hope that many mathematicians around the glove will join these cooperative efforts to change the path on which we walk right now into a brighter one for the decades to come. The likely risk of doing nothing is that the current path takes us to a dead end in some decades, or even in just a few years. I warmly thank all the people that made this declaration possible.

    I sign this declaration in my personal capacity. As a researcher working at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, and machine learning, I believe that AI can be valuable for mathematical research only if its use is accompanied by transparency, attribution, reproducibility, and clear human responsibility. The mathematical community should actively shape these norms rather than leave them to commercial platforms alone.

    Comment

    I support the Leiden Declaration because AI should extend human reasoning without replacing responsibility, expertise, verification, or authorship. My work crosses cognitive science, physics, mathematics, consciousness research, AI governance, and the development of recursive AI systems for health, trauma, identity, and institutional accountability. I treat consciousness as an interface problem, which means I have to be precise about what space I am working in, what assumptions define the system, and what can actually be claimed locally rather than globally. AI can help develop ideas, test structures, organize research, and make difficult work more accessible, but the person using it still has to understand the subject, check the output, cite sources, disclose its role, and take responsibility for the final result. Formal verification tools such as Lean can help with mathematical validity, but they do not replace conceptual judgment or independent review. Small errors can happen in both human and AI work, but fabricated results, false citations, unsupported claims, and internally consistent systems built on incorrect premises are a serious problem. My own AI governance work emphasizes transparency, privacy, accessibility, human oversight, protection of vulnerable users, and clear accountability for decisions made with AI. I believe these standards should apply across mathematics, science, medicine, technology, and every field using AI.
