I teach for the University at Buffalo (UB) in Singapore. The UB Director in Singapore and I have been tracking ChatGPT to determine how it will affect teaching at that program. We have roughly 1,500 students in seven degree programs in Singapore.
This week, the Director of our UB program sent the link to this article Singapore's main newspaper, The Straits Times. If this plays out as written, then it indicates a wholehearted acceptance of ChatGPT. A week ago, the Minister of Education in Singapore announced his support for use of ChatGPT along with teaching how to use it effectively and ethically.
This is one paragraph from the article: "The project has also struck an agreement with Azure OpenAI to ensure that data handled by the Government is kept confidential and out of sight to Microsoft and OpenAI. Microsoft runs the cloud-based Azure platform, which hosts OpenAI as part of its investment in the San Francisco-based AI research firm that found fame with the rise of ChatGPT, or Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer."
