Artificial Intelligence Centre for Educational Technologies (AICET)
The Artificial Intelligence Centre for Educational Technologies (AICET) was earlier established on 18 Dec 2020 by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO) and Ministry of Education (MOE), under AI Singapore (AISG), with the goal of revolutionizing the education landscape by developing, implementing, and evaluating innovative EdTech tools and platforms. The AICET is currently hosted at the NUS School of Computing.
From 2021 to 2023, AICET assisted the Ministry of Education in executing Signature AI Use Cases for General Education as part of our National AI Strategy. Our long term goal is to nurture deep technical expertise and develop long-term capabilities for Singapore to enable us to adapt and innovate rapidly in integrating AI and technology into broader pedagogical advancements as the opportunities arise.
