NUS has secured four major projects under Singapore's S$120 million AI-for-Science Initiative, reinforcing its position as a global leader in AI-driven scientific research. This achievement underscores the University’s unique strengths in bridging advanced AI capabilities with world-class expertise across multiple scientific disciplines, such as advanced materials, computing, genomics and agriculture.
Impact
Researchers from NUS and Griffith Business School found that young Singaporean workers who experienced childhood adversities like abuse, exposure to substance abuse and poverty, are likelier to struggle at work, with lower perceived health affecting their job security confidence, self-efficacy and optimism for the future.

If AI companions are to become part of ordinary life, they should not be governed only as data-processing tools. They should be governed as systems that may shape relationships – and judged by whether they preserve or erode human agency. The privacy framework we inherited was built to protect information about us. The framework we now need must also protect the connections and freedoms that make us who we are.
New research by NUS Department of Social Work highlights an emerging divide - lower-educated young Singaporean workers are falling behind in AI proficiency compared to their higher-educated peers, widening the bifurcation between white and blue-collar jobs. These workers face barriers and the real risk is not immediate job loss but being locked out of future advancement opportunities.
