NUS and OpenAI unveil a strategic collaboration to broaden AI access, education, research, and innovation across the university, delivering ChatGPT Edu and Codex to all students, faculty, and staff with enterprise-grade security and controls.

Advanced AI tools will be piloted in selected courses and progressively rolled out to undergraduate programs where they offer clear educational value.

NUS is developing seven in-house AI tools to augment teaching, including an AI-powered scenario generator and a Socratic coaching tool, plus tools to identify learning gaps, track participation, and assist in research.

Around 35% of students have already built their own AI agents or assistants to manage studies, work, or personal tasks.

A survey shows 84% of students view AI literacy as fundamental as digital literacy, with 95% wanting real-world AI project opportunities and 88% interested in building an AI app or company during their studies.

The same survey highlights strong student engagement with AI and the belief that AI skills boost employability, especially among 18-24-year-olds.

A nationwide Singaporean student survey indicates 81% believe AI skills give a workforce advantage and 77% see them as essential career skills; 94% use AI weekly or more, with 55% using it daily.

A module titled THE1008 Applied Generative AI teaches students to interact effectively with large language models and multimodal AI, featuring online lectures, quizzes, and an in-person workshop.

Undergraduates will gain a foundation in using AI tools for learning, assignments, internships, and future careers as part of a broader AI fluency strategy.

Instructors will receive tools to identify learning gaps, track participation, and challenge students to evaluate AI-generated answers.

The AI strategy centers on building human potential—ensuring students retain judgment and communication skills while becoming AI-literate.

NUS emphasizes balancing AI integration with preserving human abilities, making human judgment and communication core to the university’s mission.
