Why hundreds of mathematicians have backed a declaration against unchecked AI use
As AI models become more capable at cracking high-level math problems, mathematicians have warned that the growing use of AI in the field poses several challenges, including unreliable mathematical proofs, lack of citation, improper disclosure of information, and research bias. These concerns have been outlined in what may be the first-of-its-kind declaration drafted by a working group of 16 researchers over eight months following a conference held at Leiden University in the Netherlands in September 2025. OpenAI said that its model disproved a famous geometry conjecture first proposed by famous mathematician Paul Erdos in 1946.
