Futures of Maths
An anonymous consultation of research mathematicians on how AI is used, and how it should be governed, in mathematics.
How to take part
- Confirm you are eligible: you need an article in a mathematics journal published in the last three years. Sign in with ORCID or, if that does not work for you, ask the independent verification moderator to check your eligibility.
- You receive an anonymous link. Your identity cannot be connected to your answers.
- Scroll through statements about AI in mathematics and rate each from strongly disagree to strongly agree, or skip it. After you answer, you see how everyone has voted so far, once at least 5 people have answered.
- Post your own statements for others to rate, and earn karma points as you take part.
Who is involved
- Principal investigator: Jon Roozenbeek (VU Amsterdam and University of Cambridge).
- Research team: Francesco Fournier-Facio (Heriot-Watt University), Yara Kyrychenko (University of Cambridge) and Julian Wykowski (KIT). The research team wrote the launch statements and analyses the responses.
- Content moderators: mostly members of the research team. They check every statement that participants post before it appears in the feed, and may lightly edit its wording. They see the statement but never who wrote it, and they have no part in verification.
- Verification moderator: someone independent of the research team. They check manual review applications from people the automatic ORCID check misses, and nothing else. They never see consultation responses, and the anonymous pass means they cannot link anyone to their answers.
