A survey of 500 secondary school students in Singapore found that all use AI for homework, with 29% using it multiple times a week.
Students primarily utilize AI for generating assignment ideas (86%), solving math problems (63%), and proofreading (47%).
Only 51% of students attend schools with clear AI usage rules, while 33% are uncertain about their school’s policies.
Views on AI among teachers vary significantly, with some embracing it and others ignoring its presence, leading to inconsistent handling in classrooms.
Concerns about inaccurate AI detection tools may harm student-teacher relationships, prompting calls for clearer guidelines on appropriate AI use in education.
The Singapore Heart Lesion Analyser, called Sense, will be tested at three hospitals in Singapore starting Q3 2025 for heart scan analysis.
The one-year trial will involve 300 patients and aims to reduce coronary artery disease assessment time from hours to under 10 minutes.
Sense supports, rather than replaces, doctors’ clinical decisions, requiring their review and confirmation of the AI’s findings.
The system has demonstrated 85% to 99% accuracy in earlier tests and could significantly impact early diagnosis of coronary artery disease, which caused 8,311 deaths in Singapore in 2023.
Developed by the CVS.AI lab at NHCS, Sense builds on previous AI work using a large dataset from CT scans to improve speed and accuracy in heart problem detection.
