Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore)

NTU Library advises students to check instructor and assignment instructions before using AI because expectations vary by module and discipline.

NTU’s dated 24 June 2025 statement says GenAI is generally permitted in assignments, but professors may prohibit it for specific pedagogical reasons communicated to students. Students are expected to declare use and how it was used, and remain responsible for accuracy and citations. This is a dated institutional statement, not the complete current internal teaching policy or permission for every assessment.

NTU Library instructs students to obtain explicit instructor permission for more extensive AI involvement, such as generating source materials or enhancing visuals.

NTU Library instructs students not to access AI tools during examinations when external resources are not permitted. This condition does not establish either a ban in every exam or automatic AI permission in open-resource exams.

For some assignments, instructors may require AI process records. NTU Library’s tracking template may be used or adapted when record-keeping is required or recommended, following the instructor’s format and level of detail.

From November 2025, NTU’s thesis/dissertation Statement of Originality includes an AI-use disclosure section. The required declarations form part of thesis submission requirements; the source does not establish a single faculty-independent template.

AI-generated research visuals must not be presented as actual experimental data unless AI or AI-assisted tools are an essential component of the research design and/or methodology. Using AI to fabricate images resembling experimental results constitutes serious research misconduct.

NTU prohibits substantive AI modification of genuine experimental images unless clearly described in the methodology.

When an agency, journal or other receiving party has GenAI rules that differ from NTU research policy, researchers should follow the stricter rules.

NTU requires AI-generated research images, figures and videos to be clearly labelled and the methods, tools and parameters documented sufficiently for reproducibility.

The Vice President (Research) reviews the RIO preliminary report and may take appropriate action, decide whether to invite the Provost to appoint a COI for faculty/research staff, or decide whether to refer a student to the Board of Discipline. This is a research-misconduct process, not an automatic AI penalty or a finding of guilt.
