    The declaration is an important step to protect our community in the current rapid development. Ethical but also legal guardrails are paramount and need to be put in place to guarantee academic integrity and to protect Mathematics but also Science in general.

    Comment

    This declaration is timely and necessary. Massive investments in AI have incentivized many companies and individuals to push for rapid adoption of generative AI tools without careful consideration of when they are fit for purpose or how negative effects of these technologies can be mitigated. It is critical to act to prevent a flood of low-quality generated products from burying quality research, and to demand that proper attribution of ideas and results be maintained, not cast aside in the name of expediency.

    Comment

    I am horrified by the extent of outright intellectual property theft underpinning technology companies (see, e.g., the Anthropic USD 1.5bn settlement). In addition to the Leiden declaration, I would recommend reading "The dilemmas of delegation" published by the Ada Lovelace Institute on how unethical use of technology disrupts education and hurts the young generation, hence all of us.

    Comment

    I will not sign or submit any paper whose ideas were generated by AI. I guarantee that every paper I write will be worthy of being read by humans.

    Comment

    The value of LLMs with respect to mathematics lies mainly in two capabilities: suggesting novel approaches to problems and producing formal proofs. Neither capability, however, can substitute for sound human understanding or the effort required to get there. The proper role of LLMs in the mathematical community, as this declaration affirms, is not as deities to be revered without question, but as just some of the many tools that we can use to further the collective knowledge of our subject and our world.

    We must make sure that the means of making advances in fundamental knowledge are not enclosed and turned into privately-owned capital. Both knowledge and the means themselves must be publicly owned

    Comment

    I am amazed at how the global mathematical community, a less vocal group up till now in history, has risen in solidarity to protect the ideals of knowledge that make us human. I believe in our collective strength and resilience in keeping mathematics and human thought that mathematics stands for alive.
