New Worlds, New Ethics

Our first-ever Vox Alumni poll gathers your opinions on how AI-created art and the metaverse impact creativity, authenticity and the blurring of lines between the physical and the virtual.

Working to Make It Right

Technology continues to transform the way we live, but conversations around the ethics of phenomena such as artificial intelligence have lagged behind adoption. How can we stay ahead of the curve? Learn how NUS is contributing to the conversation.

Man vs Machine

How the pitfalls of tech can be tackled by tech, according to Mr Wang Weimin (Science ’17).

Turning Up the Tempo

Professor Peter Tornquist, Dean of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, shares his vision to move the school from being excellent to exceptional.

Rethinking Care in a Fast-ageing Society

Researcher and NUS alumna Susana Concordo Harding (Public Policy ’09) explores how to tackle the gender disparity and perceptions of caregiving as Singaporeans age, in the wake of her recentWoW: Ignitetalk held on 8 March 2023.

Addressing a Growing Concern

Finding sustainable solutions to alleviate potential disruptions to food supply involves rethinking the way urban farming is carried out — and that is exactly what a team at NUS has been doing.

Smart Transition, Green Transition

To quote United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, climate change — or rather, the climate emergency — is a “battle for our lives”. Fortunately, we have technology on our side. Numerous technological breakthroughs and innovations are being created, including at NUS, enabling us to learn, work and live more sustainably.

Banking on Doing Good

From trailblazer in the banking world to leader in social services — Ms Junie Foo (Arts & Social Sciences ’90) has found her journey to be full of fulfilment.

Caring is Complicated

By 2030, 20 per cent or more of Singapore’s population will be aged 65 or above. Professor Elaine Ho Lynn-Ee (Arts and Social Sciences ’02) surveys this seismic demographic shift to see what the future might hold for elderly and their caregivers.

Seeing the Silver Lining

We are all getting older and there is nothing we can do about it — or is there? One-dimensional thinking posits ageing purely in terms of deteriorating health or as a burden to society. In helping Singapore prepare for an ageing population, NUS wants older adults to enjoy long, healthy, happy and productive lives.
