Abstract

Artificial intelligence is transforming mathematics at a speed and scale that demand active engagement from the mathematical community. We examine five areas where this transformation is particularly pressing: values, practice, teaching, technology, and ethics. We offer recommendations on safeguarding our intellectual autonomy, rethinking our practice, broadening curricula, building academically oriented infrastructure, and developing shared ethical principles - with the aim of ensuring that the future of mathematics is shaped by the community itself.
