NUS policy states that verdicts of AI tools purporting to determine whether an input was generated by AI are not admissible as evidence in disciplinary processes to charge students with academic dishonesty or as justification to penalize student work.

NUS Libraries guidance instructs students to always check assignment guidelines for specific AI instructions and consult citation style guides and publisher policies when using AI in academic or published work.

NUS policy states that submitting AI-generated work without acknowledging AI use constitutes academic dishonesty and plagiarism, punishable under university disciplinary processes assuming the case can be made.

NUS policy requires prior approval by Head of Department or Deanery under oversight of Chair of AI-COP, obtained via submission to the AI System for Assurance and Evaluation, before deploying AI to provide instruction, feedback, or marks. In general, except for AI marking of objective or closed-ended assessments, a human instructor or reviewer should remain in the loop, and spot checks should still be conducted even where scoring is considered reliable.

NUS policy recommends that instructors should be transparent about where and how they deploy AI in NUS courses, particularly when generating content, acting as virtual tutors, or aiding assessment feedback and grading.

NUS policy sets the default assumption that AI tool use is permitted for unsupervised (take-home) assessments with due acknowledgement; if an assessment forbids AI for pedagogical reasons, crucial aspects of that assessment should be conducted in person and under instructor supervision.
