1000 human mathematicians pledge to shun AI in their research

The group has formed an organisation called the Association of Human Mathematicians. The pledge covers two commitments, and the article describes the avoidance of AI models in research as applying 'to varying extents' among those who signed.

The association was created in the wake of what the article calls controversial discoveries from AI companies. The report does not, in the excerpt, list the number of signatories by institution, give the date the pledge was opened, or describe any mechanism for verifying that signatories adhere to it. It also does not name the individuals who founded the association.

The article is headlined '1000 human mathematicians pledge to shun AI in their research.' It frames the creation of the association as a response to research output from AI companies, citing the OpenAI release of 722 papers as one example among the 'controversial discoveries' that prompted it. Neither a total figure for practising mathematicians in the field nor the share of the discipline the 1,000 signatories represent is given. The pledge, as described, separates declining employment with AI companies from declining to use their models in research.
