Machine learning (ML) is revolutionising industries, with the global market expected to grow from US$38.11 billion in 2022 to US$771.38 billion by 2032. However, the complexity of ML models often poses challenges in explainability and trustworthiness. To close the chasm between human understanding and decisions made by sophisticated ML models, Sun Jun, Professor of Computer Science at the SMU School of Computing and Information Systems and Co-Director of the Centre for Research for Intelligent Software Engineering, introduced a functional paradigm that organisations can use to select the most suitable models for their needs - "measurable explainability."

🚀 Advancing Education at SMU!

SMU Associate Professors Ouh Eng Lieh, Tan Kar Way and Lo Siaw Ling, and Dr Lin Feng from Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) are working on a ChatGPT-based tool to help students learn better. Named Prompt Tutor, this initiative aims to provide real-time feedback and prompts to enhance student learning and retention.

The project is funded by an MOE Tertiary Education Research Fund (TRF) grant, and is expected to take three years to develop a fully functioning Prompt Tutor and conduct experimental research.

Explore the full story to learn more about this innovative approach and its potential impact on education. 🌟

📢 AI is reshaping industries—how are universities preparing students for the future? 🤖📚

As AI becomes integral to businesses and economies, universities in Singapore are embedding AI into their programmes to equip students with the skills they need.

At SMU, students explore AI across various fields:

📌 Master of IT in Business (MITB), AI Track—applies AI and data analytics in a business context.

📌 School of Computing and Information Systems—covers machine learning, natural language communication, and AI safety.

📌 School of Economics—integrates AI into economics and finance through Data Science with Python for undergraduates and AI-driven courses in machine learning for two master’s programmes:
🎓 Master of Science in Economics
🎓 Master of Science in Financial Economics

By combining technical knowledge with real-world applications, universities are equipping graduates to thrive in an AI-driven world.

🤖 With AI transforming how knowledge is produced, how can assessment ensure true understanding?

SMU Associate Professor of Philosophy Matthew Hammerton argues that universities must cultivate intellectual responsibility — requiring students to explain, defend, and take ownership of their work. Oral examinations, he proposes, can help safeguard both learning and integrity in the AI age.
