NUS students to get ChatGPT access; AI module compulsory for incoming freshmen

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has partnered with OpenAI to provide all students, faculty, and staff with access to ChatGPT Edu, a version of ChatGPT specifically designed for universities and colleges. This access will begin on August 31 of the current academic year. In addition to the ChatGPT access, incoming freshmen must complete a compulsory artificial intelligence (AI) course within the first two weeks of their first semester.

The AI module, Applied Generative AI: From Prompting to Evaluation, is designed to give all undergraduate students a foundational understanding of AI tools for learning, assignments, internships, and future careers.
