I was quoted in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, in an article by Bas den Hond, “Wiskundigen waarschuwen voor AI in hun vak: ‘Wat is nog onze rol?’” (“Mathematicians warn against AI in their profession: ‘What is our role anymore?’“, June 3, 2026), about the Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics. I signed the declaration along with hundreds of colleagues; it argues for norms that keep mathematics centered on human researchers — their curiosity, their critical judgment, and their right to recognition for their work.
FWIW, a few corrections to the details about me in the article:
- I worked at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California, not New Mexico.
- SIAM is the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, not the American Association for Applied Mathematics.
- My role at SIAM is Vice President for Publications, not deputy head of the publications department.
