Shownotes Transcript

In the wake of the recent NTU case, where students were penalised for using AI in their assignments, the question takes centre stage: embrace the tech — or ban it outright?

As AI tools like ChatGPT become part of everyday student life, universities are facing a defining dilemma; is AI a threat to genuine learning, or a tool students must master to be future-ready?Are universities overreacting, or falling behind in safeguarding the value of a degree?

On The Hot Seat, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Andrew Tan Yong Chuan, Co-founder of Atomi Pte Ltd. and Damien Xing, Senior Lecturer in Law at the National University of Singapore Business School, in order to find out whether a zero tolerance policy for AI is needed for the future of academia.
