The choice not to sign a maths-and-AI letter despite agreeing with much of it

A blog author has shared a piece titled “Why I didn’t sign the Fields medallists’ letter.” They say they agree with much of the maths-and-AI letter and welcome its existence, but did not sign it—just as they did not sign the Leiden Declaration. A reader sharing the piece calls it balanced and describes its themes as incentives, maths’ reason to exist and the field’s future in an AI world.
