Berkeley mathematician stops grading homework for accuracy: "AI solves it"

Richard Borcherds, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley and winner of the 1998 Fields Medal, stopped grading his students' homework on accuracy because artificial intelligence allows them to get top marks. He now scores mainly for completing assignments and bases grades primarily on in-person exams without electronic devices. Berkeley requires instructors to state their AI rules in their syllabi and evaluated detectors such as Turnitin and Rumi, which it deemed unreliable for the whole campus.
