Since September I've been working with an international group to develop what we hope can be a response from the mathematics community to artificial intelligence in maths. The Leiden Declaration is now posted and open for signatures: https://leidendeclaration.ai/ #LeidenDeclar…

Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics leidendeclaration.ai
AI Weekly's analysis
  • The Leiden Declaration, released June 2, 2026, warns AI threatens proof integrity, attribution, and peer review in mathematics.
  • Over 2,654 signatories including Fields Medal winner Terence Tao have endorsed the community-initiated declaration.
  • The International Mathematical Union backs the declaration, which makes separate recommendations to researchers, publishers, policymakers, and AI developers.

Just played a level of a game I play with my daughter and luckily it was just me today because I got an ad for an AI chatbot getting fucked and slapped and asking me what I wanted to do to it. I hate the future so much sometimes
