SUSS drops AI detector as more Singapore universities question reliability of such tools
NUS, SUTD and SIT do not use automated AI detectors, while SMU says such tools are only one input when investigating possible misconduct.
Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) has deactivated its university-wide AI writing detection tool from August. The university acknowledged the limitations of AI detection scores, explaining that they cannot definitively determine if generative AI was misused. This decision does not affect SUSS' expectations for students to maintain academic integrity and use AI responsibly.
NTU announced it will discontinue its AI detector by 2027, deeming such tools fundamentally unreliable. SMU continues using AI detection tools but not as the sole basis for misconduct. SMU believes the most reliable way to ensure academic integrity is to design assessments that require students to demonstrate genuine competencies.
NUS, SUTD, and SIT also confirmed they do not use automated AI detection tools, stating that these tools cannot conclusively determine academic misconduct.
