    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 reasonable and balanced approach to adapting ourselves to what is, in the end, just another new tool.

    Comment

    The declaration brings much needed clarity on guidelines and recommendations to address the challenges posed by the use of AI. We need a similar one for Computer Science and Software Development

    Comment

    May AI be a tool to advance understanding of mathematics and push the frontiers of knowledge ever onward, not a machine that constrains our mathematical understanding and puts limits on what we can know.

    Research in AI could only be sustainable if models are open, not only weights, bit also data and tools, as in the Model Openness Framework.

    We used to take square roots by hand. Then we used calculators. We must remain in charge what to take square roots of now, with AI. Insight is ours.

    Comment

    The Leiden Declaration is a necessary statement regarding the rise of generative AI in scientific research. In fact, most of its recommendations extend beyond mathematics and remain relevant to most of scientific fields.

    If you are an individual mathematician, be aware that use of these new tools carries along with it the risk of atrophy of old skills and habits. As you use AI, pay attention to its effect on you.
