Professor Jungpil Hahn works for the Department of Information Systems and Analytics at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS). The Professor is an advocate for using AI responsibly.
“AI developers and business leaders should consider all relevant ethical considerations not only in order to be compliant with regulations but also for engendering trust from its consumers and users.”
“The primary challenge in applying AI ethical principles is that much of the discourse surrounding AI ethics and governance is too broad in the sense that the conversation surrounding it is at a very high level,” Professor Hahn said.
“How to actually operationalise and put it into action is still quite underdeveloped, and vague.”
The rapid uptake and widespread use of generative AI systems has put a spotlight on AI ethics and governance. The ‘lack of clear and explicit’ standards led Professor Hahn and colleagues to study the evolution of AI Governance.
“The “black box” nature of AI models, which makes it impossible to fully (exhaustively) know how it will perform/behave.” Professor Hahn added.
Professor Anthony Tung explores the topic of deepfake scams, their prevalence and how ordinary people can identify and prevent themselves from being deceived by them.
Associate Professor Terence Sim of the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Trusted Internet and Community said AI-generated porn is “certainly a very pressing issue”.
The National University of Singapore School of Computing (NUS Computing) has unveiled a new Computing Gallery, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia, which documents the nation’s computing education journey at Singapore’s flagship university, among other aspects of Information Technology (IT).
“It’s a difficult balancing act,” says Ooi Wei Tsang, an associate professor in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore. “Given that large language models are evolving rapidly, we are still learning how to do this.”
Professor Anthony Tung discusses the impact of Open AI Sora on various industries on Hello Singapore.
Launched on March 25, the NUS AI Institute (NAII) will conduct research on how to address the ethical concerns and risks associated with AI and to apply AI across various domains such as education, healthcare, finance and sustainability.

Should we still learn to code in the age of AI? Professor Hahn Jungpil says that AI has its limitations while computer education is about a way of thinking that goes beyond code.
While AI offers exciting potential for creative content creation, Professor Hahn Jungpil warns of its double-edged nature. Deepfakes pose a growing threat for spreading misinformation. He proposes proactive behavioural analysis as a promising strategy to combat this, acknowledging the challenges of regulating open-source AI and the limitations of current safeguards.
Professor Hahn Jungpil highlighted a critical challenge in the realm of deepfake detection. He emphasised that malicious actors could potentially gain an upper hand due to the need for enhanced deepfake training data to advance detection technologies.
In the documentary, Associate Professor Terence Sim discusses the alarming ease with which deepfakes can be created and their astonishingly convincing nature.

Associate Professor Terence Sim analysed OpenAI's showcase videos, uncovering subtle clues that can help identify AI-generated content.
Prof Anthony Tung highlights the critical link between legislation and technology, particularly in regulating AI.
NUS Computing graduates continued to command high employment rates and earned higher starting salaries in 2023, according to the Joint Autonomous Universities Graduate Employment Survey 2023.
Provost's Chair Professor Mohan Kankanhalli and Professor Anthony Tung caution against social media oversharing, stressing the risks of divulging excessive personal information, especially about children. They call for heightened awareness and education to combat these dangers, underlining the need to verify content and employ technology for fraud detection.
Associate Professor Kan Min Yen emphasises that Southeast Asia's regulations are less detailed compared to the EU's, citing the region's diverse digital landscape and emerging infrastructure as reasons why strict enforcement might be challenging.
Associate Professor Kan Min Yen asserts that ASEAN, as a “critical region,” stands to gain from suitable AI adoption and implementation. However, he highlights that existing AI models are primarily trained on data that inadequately represents ASEAN citizens, failing to account for local languages, cultural norms, and everyday objects.
"I wanted to develop an interface that provides seamless access to people to interact with the world," said Associate Professor Suranga Nanayakkara. His team developed AiSee, the groundbreaking hands-free headset that helps visually impaired individuals 'see' by converting images to audio descriptions.
