This week saw the relase of the Leiden Declaration calling for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research.
The Declaration, signed by 16 international mathematicians including Ursula Martin from Oxford and endorsed by the Isaac Newton Institute, the IMU and various leading mathematicians, focusses on the threats (and opportunities ) that AI presents such as: unreliable results; copyright and attribution issues (AI using human work without citation); inequality and dependence on expensive proprietary technology; misleading hype and overestimation of AI capabilities; and loss of human autonomy over research agendas.
