AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to consider grading homework "meaningless"

UC Berkeley professor and Fields Medalist Richard Borcherds no longer grades student homework, because a large number of students use AI to consistently earn high scores; he believes that paying people to grade for correctness is now "meaningless," and currently grades only on whether work is submitted. He also stated that if AI continues to improve at its current pace, within a few years there will be nothing left that human mathematicians can do better than AI, and he can no longer offer advice even on whether students should be encouraged to enter the mathematics department.
