Berkeley math professor grades homework on completion after AI keeps scoring high
What happened
Richard Borcherds, a Fields Medalist and math professor at UC Berkeley, now grades homework on whether it was done rather than whether it is correct, because students using AI kept scoring high. He says the approach is not good but he has no alternative, and he is unsure what to advise students considering a math career. Berkeley asks instructors to state AI expectations in the syllabus and leaves policy to them; its trial Turnitin and Rumi detectors are not good enough to adopt campus-wide.

加州大学伯克利分校教授、菲尔兹奖得主 Richard Borcherds 因学生使用 AI 持续获得高分，改为按作业是否完成评分。他承认这一办法并不好，但目前没有替代方案，也不确定该如何建议学生选择数学职业。学校要求教师在课程大纲中说明 AI 使用预期，具体政策由教师决定，试用的 Turnitin 和 Rumi 检测工具尚不足以在全校统一采用。
