Past Events

When faced with AI as profoundly transformative as today's, we often react in polarized ways: warding off, shutting down, or embracing it. These moments of choice provoke our self-reflection, prompting both rational analyses and emotional reactions. Yet we frequently overlook the fact that most AI applications still heavily rely on human input to become meaningful tools rather than soulless mimics. In this talk, the speaker will delve into the role that generative AI can play in shaping purposeful teaching and learning experiences. He will share how AI, educators, and students can work in partnership with a view to bringing about interactions that empower an impactful loop, steering us towards innovative paths where we excel at what humans do best. Join Ricky Kwok, Vice President (Research & Student Development), Hong Kong Metropolitan University in this conversation. [This event is only open to SoTL-Asia]

Organised by the NUS Enterprise, join Asia's largest university start-up showcase from 29 to 31 May 2024 at the Singapore Expo to explore trends in AI, digitalisation and more.

Various “artificial intelligence” (AI) methods have emerged as potentially enabling technology for drug discovery and automation. In this distinguished lecture series organised by the NUS Articificial Intelligence Institute, Prof. Gisbert Schneider, ETH Zurich (Dept. of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences) will provide a critical assessment of the possibilities and limitations of the individual approaches and dare forecasting the future of drug design with AI.

The rise of AI may be a source of disruption in our teaching but can also support new learning experiences that will benefit our students. Co-organised by NUS Teaching Academy and College of Design and Engineering (CDE), CDE colleagues will present some case studies on how they have incorporated AI into their teaching and learning experience. [This event is open to Academy Fellows and the CDE Teaching Faculty.]

This talk will discuss some points of view about generative AI (specifically, large language models like ChatGPT), as A/P Ted Tschang (Associate Professor of Strategic Management at SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business) relates to SMU’s use in teaching, and to his research on their use. Most of his own use of LLMs relates to how I make sense of their transformation of the research and innovation process. He will also discuss some ideas for an upcoming class on generative AI and to its use in work and business. (This event is only for FASS Educators)

Join on 5 April, Friday, for our CNM Leaders Summit. The theme this year is “AI x Media: How has AI reshaped the Media Landscape”. The event will be held at NUS Shaw Foundation Alumni House (11 Kent Ridge Drive, Singapore 119244). Our distinguished panel will comprise the following practitioners, creators, and policymakers: • Jeremy Au Yong, Editor, Newsroom Strategy, SPH Media • Yeong Zee Kin, Chief Executive, Singapore Academy of Law • Jo Ho, New Media Artist • Moderator: Emily Poon, President, Public Relations, Influence, and Social Media Marketing in Asia, Ogilvy.

Crafting quality assessment questions in higher education, especially in healthcare professions is a crucial yet time-consuming, expertise-driven undertaking that calls for innovative solutions. In this workshop, we will explore the utility of ChatGPT to generate diverse, high-quality assessment questions with specific focus on multiple-choice questions (MCQs) as an illustrative example.

Discover the productivity boost of generative AI as your teaching assistant! Explore effective strategies for prompt engineering and iterative refinement. Engage in hands-on activities to explore how ChatGPT can assist in crafting engaging course content, designing impactful activities, and providing valuable student feedback. Engage in a two-way conversation with facilitators to understand the benefits and pitfalls of incorporating this innovative AI assistant into your teaching toolkit. Explore ways to elevate your teaching experience with the use of generative AI in course design.

Join our distinguished panelists as they discuss what are the risks associated with AI that we should be aware of, how do we harness the power of AI responsibly, ensuring the technology serves us in a fair, transparent and equitable way and who is responsible for regulatory oversight.

In this article titled, assessment in the age of artificial intelligence, the authors provide insights into rethinking assessment in a more meaningful way. Specifically, they explore several AI approaches for assessment that may address the issues/challenges with traditional assessment practices. In this open conversation, we discuss how the various AI approaches to assessment discussed in this chapter matter to us, and how we may employ them.

Uncommon lessons learnt from 2.5 semesters of deliberate classroom deployment of Generative AI. This will help you deploy Generative AI (text or image-based) in your lessons sooner, with fairness, with less frustrations, and without becoming an AI expert yourself.
