    Comment

    As a student, I sign this declaration to uphold the integrity of mathematics – a discipline that deserves to be built on human understanding, not black-box automation. Quality and accountability must always prevail over quantity and speed.

    Comment

    As others have said, this Declaration arrives at an important time. It is no longer sufficient for our values as a community to remain implicit. Whatever tools we may use, our goal is human understanding, and our intellectual autonomy is paramount.

    We're at a crossroads in mathematics: as a community we need to decide as to how individual practices of using AI can contribute to keeping our discipline healthy, interesting, and relevant while, at the same time, being mindful of the inevitable downsides.

    AI has the potential to make immense positive change. Its current trajectory shows potential for catastrophic damage

    The challenges our community faces are not entirely new, but definitely of great scale. I appreciate and relate with how the declaration accepts them while offering clear ideas for adaptation at the level of the individual, the research groups, and the larger communities.

    This is an effort worth joining. I discovered it after a lecture from Dr. Terence Tao. For months I felt overwhelmed by the progress of AI and how proper research should be carried. AI generated knowledge without humanization do not expand human knowledge.

    Comment

    Es necesaria una regulación sobre el uso de los modelos de lenguaje en relación al desarrollo y avance de las matemáticas. Hay que establecer claros valores éticos que nos guíen en el buen uso de las herramientas aportadas por la inteligencia artificial y de ese modo cuidar el trabajo arduo que han realizado anteriormente otros matemáticos y el que están realizando o realizarán en el futuro. Debemos actuar con rigor ético y ser indefectiblemente honestos cuando abordamos el uso de los modelos de lenguaje. Hacer matemática es una actividad humana y la inteligencia artificial no debe ser más que una herramienta que nos ayude a clarificar el camino del conocimiento.

    Comment

    There are aspects of this declaration that are partially debatable - for example, the focus on meritocracy (very much a neoliberal ideology that is not intrinsically entangled with mathematics); or on peer-reviewing (whose reliability, consistency, and bias-related issues are commonly discussed in our community. The crucial aspect is, IMO, that mathematical results need not actually be peer-reviewed, but rather that they _could_ be peer-reviewed at any time, if so needed.) Having said that, this is still a very important contribution to the discussion with policymakers I support it and and will apply its principles in my practice.
