Shaping the Future of Mathematics in the Age of AI
This work tackles the challenge of ensuring the mathematical community's autonomy and adaptation in the face of AI-driven changes, but it is incremental as it builds on existing discussions without introducing new methods or data.
The paper addresses the rapid transformation of mathematics by artificial intelligence, examining five key areas (values, practice, teaching, technology, and ethics) and provides recommendations to help the mathematical community shape its own future.
Artificial intelligence is transforming mathematics at a speed and scale that demand active engagement from the mathematical community. We examine five areas where this transformation is particularly pressing: values, practice, teaching, technology, and ethics. We offer recommendations on safeguarding our intellectual autonomy, rethinking our practice, broadening curricula, building academically oriented infrastructure, and developing shared ethical principles - with the aim of ensuring that the future of mathematics is shaped by the community itself.
