Mathematicians form AI-free 'Association for Human Mathematics' with three binding vows
rickasaurus · x · 2026-10-09
A new group, the Association for Human Mathematics, requires members to take three vows: no technical labor, math knowledge, consulting or publicity for commercial AI companies; no publishing AI-generated mathematical texts (papers, reviews, lecture notes, books); and no using AI models in research.
Reposter deredleritt3r calls it the birth of "organized recreational mathematics" with rules akin to organized recreational chess — and, against most expectations, believes the effort will actually succeed. A notable act of resistance as AI reshapes academic math.
