Singapore’s NUS to make AI courses compulsory for all undergraduates from August

The National University of Singapore (NUS) has announced that all undergraduates will be required to complete at least two compulsory AI-related courses before graduation, starting from the August intake. The initiative aims to ensure graduates can effectively use AI while maintaining essential human decision-making skills. NUS provost Aaron Thean stated that the university wants to create "AI fluent" graduates, with a smaller group developing advanced expertise in the field.

The compulsory introductory module, "Applied Generative AI: From Prompting to Evaluation," will be taken by all incoming students. Additionally, AI-related courses will be incorporated into common curricula and individual majors, with students from specific colleges already having AI-related courses as part of their common curriculum.
