Berkeley City College's AI activity centers on academic integrity, led by History faculty Tim Rose, whose restrictive Academic Authenticity Policy—treating any AI-generated content as plagiarism and mandating detection software—is hosted by the Peralta District Academic Senate as a shared resource. Business faculty Chris Bernard delivered a Spring 2026 Flex Day workshop exploring AI's educational pros, cons, and tools like Gemini and NotebookLM. The college's 2025 accreditation report flags AI workforce disruption as a planning concern but offers no institutional policy or curriculum response.
