UC Berkeley computer science students fail introductory course at high rates, professors cite AI use

Over 35% of students failed an introductory computer science course at UC Berkeley, a significant increase from previous years. Professors attribute the high failure rate to students over-relying on AI tools for assignments, leaving them unprepared for exams. This trend follows a UC-wide decision to drop standardized testing requirements, which some faculty believe has led to underprepared students.
