NUS, SUTD and SIT do not use automated AI detectors, while SMU says such tools are only one input when investigating possible misconduct. The University said that it continues to use AI detection tools, but "never as the sole basis" for finding misconduct. SMU Associate Professor of Marketing (Education) & Associate Provost (Undergraduate Education) Michelle Lee said that the tools are strictly "one input among several". She noted that detection software has never carried this responsibility on its own at SMU, confirming that SMU has no plans to change its approach. Assoc Prof Lee also said they believe that the most reliable way to assure academic integrity is to design assessments that require students to demonstrate genuine competencies, not to detect whether AI was used after the fact.
