Mathematicians sign declaration warning AI threatens core values of their discipline

Dozens of mathematicians signed a declaration warning that AI threatens core values of their discipline, including proof, attribution, and transparency. The 'Leiden Declaration' urges governments to regulate AI and invest in public alternatives, emphasizing that mathematical research must remain guided by human judgment and community values. The declaration, supported by the International Mathematical Union, highlights concerns about AI's impact on scientific integrity and the autonomy of mathematical research.
