On 29 June 2026, AICET welcomed a delegation 32 students and 6 professors from Hansung University, South Korea. Hosted by Jonathan Chen, AICET’s Deputy Director (Engineering), the visit gave the group a first-hand look at how the Centre is using AI to reshape teaching and learning.
A Pedagogy-First Mission, Built at Scale
The session opened with Jonathan reiterating the Centre’s guiding belief: innovation in education is not a technology problem, it’s a pedagogy problem. Every tool AICET builds starts from a real classroom pain point identified together with teachers, is developed to amplify — not replace — the instructor, and is validated with real users before it scales. This philosophy is what AICET describes as its vision of becoming a “Xerox PARC in education”: a place where technology is developed in the service of teaching, not for its own sake.
AICET’s AI-Powered Platforms
The delegation was introduced to several of AICET’s AI platforms in active use across a range of local and global institutions. The presentation also touched on the Centre’s research into how personalized learning timelines — releasing materials and homework at each student’s own pace rather than teaching to the “median” student — have been piloted and deployed on Coursemology, alongside AICET’s ongoing work benchmarking how quickly newer AI models improve (and where they still hallucinate) in providing valid feedback to students.
The Future of AI
The visit from Hansung University is part of a steady stream of international institutions AICET has welcomed in recent months, each drawn by the Centre’s track record of turning AI research into tools that are actually used in classrooms at scale. The exchange offered a chance to discuss shared challenges in classroom innovation and to explore how Singapore and South Korea might learn from — and build with — each other going forward.
By bridging cutting-edge engineering with deeply researched pedagogy, the exchange between AICET and Hansung University reflects a shared commitment to shaping an educational future where technology elevates human potential.
