AI is changing how people learn and work. 

SMU's AI in Education Strategy prepares you to do two things well: think and work independently, and use AI responsibly and effectively in your field. This page explains what that means for your courses, which tools you can use and where to get help.

SMU's Approach to AI

Our Three Commitments

SMU's goal is for you to graduate with strong human-centred skills and fluency in AI. Three commitments guide this.

Protect Core Competencies

Protect Core Competencies

You build strong skills in critical thinking, reasoning and communication, and a solid grasp of your discipline. You show you can use them without AI.
Develop New Capabilities

Develop New Capabilities

You build genuine, discipline-specific fluency in applying AI purposefully within your own field.
Strengthen Human Value-add

Strengthen Human Value-Add

You learn to show and explain what only you bring: professional and ethical judgement, collaboration and creativity.

From AI Literacy to AI Fluency: SMU’s Approach to Learning

Use AI to test ideas, check your understanding and stretch your thinking. The thinking your courses are built to develop should stay your own.
Mastering AI at SMU​

How Your Courses Fit Together​

SMU is redesigning all its degree programmes so that different courses build different capabilities:​

Without AI
Some courses test what you can do on your own, mostly without AI.​
With AI well
Some courses teach you to use AI well in your field.​
Combine both skills together
At least one course, such as a capstone or major project, asks you to combine effective use of AI with your own human competencies on a real-world problem.​

Your course outline tells you what each course expects and when AI is allowed. Undergraduates also build core AI literacy through the Digital Technologies courses in the Core Curriculum.​

Your AI Tools at SMU

What's Available to You

SMU provides a baseline AI tool for all students. For research and academic work, SMU Libraries are your main resource; they offer guides and workshops on using AI tools soundly in your studies.

Google for Education logo

Google Workspace for Education Plus

Available to all SMU students across every school and programme.

Log in with your @smu.edu.sg Google Workspace account to use the Gemini app, Gemini Notebook, and Gemini in Docs, Slides, Gmail and Drive.

For access issues, contact IITS at helpdesk@smu.edu.sg.

AI-Literacy Library Workshops

SMU Libraries: AI-related Resources

Build your AI skills with SMU Libraries. Join workshops on evaluating AI critically, AI-powered research discovery, agentic tools, and machine-learning basics, and get hands-on with AI-enabled research tools for your assignments and projects. Contact library@smu.edu.sg or visit the SMU Libraries AI Literacy Workshops.​

Other AI Tools

Some courses may specify or permit particular tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, or Grammarly. Read your course instructions carefully. For assessed work, use only the tools your course allows. If you want to use a tool your course does not mention, ask your instructor first.

Keep these in mind with any AI tool
Data Privacy
Data privacy. Do not enter personal data, confidential information, or sensitive third-party material into AI tools. This covers personal details, unpublished research, or anything that is not yours to share.
Copyright
Copyright. Uploading licensed journal articles, e-books, or database extracts to AI tools can breach SMU's licensing agreements. When in doubt, ask the Libraries first.
Accuracy
Accuracy. AI outputs sound authoritative but are often not correct. Invented case names, fabricated statistics, and inaccurate facts are common. Verify everything independently before you rely on or cite it.
Follow instructions
Follow course rules. Rules for using AI tools vary by course. Always check what each course allows and prohibits.
Terms and Conditions
Terms of use. Follow the terms of use and data use guidelines for SMU-provided AI tools.​
Responsible Use

How to Use AI Well

Using AI well is as much about protecting your own intellectual development as it is about following rules. These principles apply whenever you use AI in your studies.

The Golden Rule

Form your own view before you open an AI tool. AI helps most once your own thinking is on the table, and working through a problem yourself is what builds independent reasoning. If your instructor sets a task that starts with AI, follow the task instructions.

Good practices
Good Practice
  • Make sure the analysis, arguments, and conclusions in your submission are genuinely yours.
  • Treat AI output as a starting point. Evaluate and verify everything before using it.
  • Check every AI-generated reference independently. AI may invent sources that sound plausible but do not exist.
  • Read your course instructions on AI before each assignment. Rules vary across courses.
  • Declare your AI use clearly and honestly whenever it is permitted and your instructor requires a declaration.
What to avoid
What to Avoid
  • Do not assume AI output is accurate. It often sounds certain precisely when it is wrong.
  • Do not present AI-generated work as your own thinking. Where your course allows AI, say how you used it as instructed, and make sure you can explain and defend everything you submit.
  • Do not cite a source without confirming it exists and says what you claim.
  • Do not use AI in any assessment your instructor has designated as no-AI.
Pay attention
Responsibility for your submitted work rests with you, whether or not AI was involved in producing it.
Academic Conduct

Using AI in Assessed Work

AI-related misconduct is handled under SMU's existing codes of conduct, with the same process and consequences as any other breach.

Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity

Passing off AI-generated work as your own, or using AI where your instructor has not allowed it, breaches the Code of Academic Integrity.

Declaring Your AI Use

Declaring Your AI Use

If your instructor asks you to declare your AI use, use the form they specify and describe your use accurately. An inaccurate or missing declaration may be treated as a breach of the Code of Academic Integrity.

Student Conduct

Student Conduct

AI-related academic misconduct goes through the same investigation, hearing, appeal, and sanctions process as all other violations. Account sharing and other non-academic misuse fall under the Code of Student Conduct.

Alert
If your course instructions do not mention AI, or you are unsure whether AI use is allowed, ask your instructor before you start. What was allowed in one course may not be allowed in another.

What Your Declaration Should Cover

Your school or course may have a specific form. If not, include:

  • Which tool(s) you used, for example Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, Grammarly, or Microsoft Copilot
  • How you used it: brainstorming, drafting, summarising, grammar check, translation, and so on
  • Confirmation that all substantive analysis and arguments are your own
  • Confirmation that any AI-generated content has been critically reviewed, independently verified, and substantially reworked
  • Confirmation that you have followed your instructor's AI policy for this course and assessment
What Research Says

AI and Your Learning

Research on AI and learning is growing fast, and the findings are mixed. Results depend on the student, the task and how the course is designed. Studies suggest AI helps when it supports your thinking and harms learning when it does the thinking for you. Four lessons stand out.

What the evidence tells you to do
Think before you prompt

Think before you prompt.

Studies suggest students who work through a problem before turning to AI learn more and rely on it less. Getting your own ideas down first is part of learning.

Evaluate critically, every time

Evaluate critically, every time. 

Students who judge AI output critically tend to learn more from it. Check claims, sources and reasoning every time.

Watch your own reliance

Watch your own reliance. 

Becoming skilled with AI and becoming dependent on it can happen at the same time. Ask yourself regularly: am I using AI to challenge and extend my thinking, or to avoid doing it?

Build foundations independently

Build foundations independently. 

Skills such as legal reasoning, quantitative analysis and academic writing come from practising on your own. Expect some courses, often in your first two years, to test these skills without AI.
