Mathematicians’ organization AHM has 1,008 members, of whom 654 have pledged to do completely without AI in research
The official member page of Association for Human Mathematics (AHM) shows that the organization currently has 1,008 members, of whom 654 belong to the “AI-free caucus.” All members pledge not to provide technical, mathematical, consulting, or promotional support to commercial AI companies, and not to publish mathematical writing generated by AI models. AI-free caucus members further pledge not to use AI models in research to find proofs, explore examples, or propose research questions.
On 2026-10-07, AHM issued a statement regarding the more than 700 mathematical manuscripts released by OpenAI on October 6, saying that “Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done,” and describing the one-time release of more than 700 files as “a demonstration of power” rather than an academic contribution, calling on mathematicians to stop cooperating with OpenAI.

ABAB AI Insight
AHM’s membership numbers and pledge text come from its official website. The AI-free caucus is an optional higher commitment, covering core mathematical activities. After OpenAI’s large-scale release, the organization publicly stated that the release was contrary to academic norms.
Public reporting has recorded different attitudes among other mathematicians toward using AI tools, but the sources verified for this item do not provide data comparing employment or output between AHM members and non-members.
This item records a mathematics organization’s public membership count and written pledges, as well as its statement on a specific company’s release. The follow-up focus is on updates to the membership list and policy responses from related academic institutions.

A mathematics organization can publicly count its members and distinguish different levels of commitment regarding AI use.
A large-scale achievement release by an AI company can be described as a demonstration of power not requested by mathematicians.
Written pledges can simultaneously include not cooperating with commercial AI companies and not publishing AI-generated text.
