The Association for Human Mathematics protects mathematics as a human endeavor against the threat of artificial intelligence. We work to maintain the independence of the mathematical community from the encroachment of corporate interest. In light of the grave societal, environmental, and economic impacts of the AI industry and the threat of unfettered AI growth, we strive not to be complicit.

Artificial intelligence tools pose a fundamental threat to scientific practice and mathematical understanding. Mathematical progress requires human expertise, cultivated through writing and careful thinking. The automated production and consumption of mathematics thus undermine the intellectual foundations of our field. We oppose the misuse of mathematics for corporate advertising and aim to build a future in which human mathematics can flourish.

Since our founding in September 2026, the membership of the AHM has grown to include over 1,000 professional mathematicians across the globe who refuse to collaborate with AI corporations and who limit use of AI in their work. Many of our members further commit to conduct entirely AI-free research, centering human thinking and judgment in the mathematical sciences. 

Most AHM activities take place in working groups focused on guiding academic institutions. We issue recommendations that help journals, mathematics departments, and professional societies put humans first and make mathematics more resilient against corporate influence. Our recommendations are prepared by volunteers at every stage of the academic career ladder, from graduate students to tenured professors.

Both individual action and large-scale coordination are needed to ensure that mathematicians engage critically with AI companies and their products. We represent mathematicians who share these values, and we invite these mathematicians to join our work.
