As AI tools continue to evolve, they are fundamentally changing how
mathematical research is conducted and how doctoral theses are written. To
ensure that Mathematics Münster provides the right support and guidelines
for this transition, we would like to invite you to a discussion event.
The basis for our discussion will be the recent "Report of Summit on PhD
Math Education in the Age of AI" from Harvard. We want to
hear your perspectives on the following key points:
* New Skills: Which competencies are now essential for a doctorate in
maths?
* AI in Practice: How does AI affect the relationship between doctorand
and advisor?
* Ethics & Integrity: Disclosure, confidentiality, and ethical
boundaries.
* The Thesis: What is the role of the written thesis in the age of AI?
* Practical Advice: Recommendations for those currently finishing their
work.
* Open Floor: What is missing from the report that is important for us at
Münster?
We aim to get a general sense of opinions and gather your specific questions
and suggestions. Your input will directly inform the work of the AfWiN
committee.
