The AI Centre for Educational Technologies (AICET) is a leading research centre, dedicated to revolutionising education through Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Recognising AI’s transformative potential to enhance educators’ capabilities and create new opportunities for impactful and effective teaching and learning, AICET aims to help educators everywhere teach better.
AICET was established on 18 Dec 2020, by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO) and Ministry of Education (MOE). AICET is currently funded by AI Singapore (AISG), and is hosted by the National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Computing. However, our mission extends far beyond NUS.
Since June 2024, AICET has expanded its collaborations with educators within NUS, nationally, and globally. By providing pedagogical support and technical expertise, we help educators make full use of these advances to drive pedagogical innovation within the education landscape.
Our long-term goal is to become a global thought leader in pedagogical and EdTech innovation. By developing and implementing innovative technological tools, AICET strives to advance the higher education landscape both in Singapore and beyond.

Our Mission
Expanding the possibilities of education through AI.
To nurture deep technical expertise in AI and enhance Singapore’s education sector by empowering educators with AI-driven tools and insights that improve learning experiences for students.

What We Believe
The teacher is at the heart of improving education
At AICET, we believe that effective educational innovation comes from enhancing pedagogy, not necessarily through the emergence of new technologies.
Therefore, how can we help teachers to teach and manage their students’ learning better?
We strive to find solutions and create tools to:
- Improve efficiency and reduce educators’ workload.
- Improve monitoring of students’ learning.
- Automate personalised feedback for students.
We also support educators’ pedagogical needs by:
- Providing resources to spark new ideas about possible use cases for generative AI.
- Offering consultation on integrating generative AI tools in lessons to achieve intended learning outcomes.
- Facilitating the involvement of students in testing and refining pedagogical ideas.
