Right Business: Building a global boxing brand with Spartans Boxing Club

Over the past year, the spotlight has been firmly on students and their use of AI, questions around academic integrity, strict guidelines, and even penalties for those who don’t disclose it.

But now, the conversation is shifting.

Several universities here in Singapore, including Nanyang Technological University, Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore Institute of Technology, and National University of Singapore, are beginning to incorporate AI tools into the grading process itself.

So that raises a big question: if students are being closely monitored for their use of AI, is it fair for educators to lean on the same technology when marking their work?

Is this a step towards greater efficiency… or does it risk changing the very nature of assessment and feedback?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Ben Leong, Associate Professor of Computer Science at NUS and Director of the AI Centre for Educational Technologies, to find out more.

It’s not just global investors driving the surge in gold, but buyers right here in Singapore.

From bullion dealers to pawnshops, demand for gold bars, coins, and even jewellery has spiked sharply in recent months, fuelled by rising tensions in the Middle East, volatile markets, and growing expectations of interest rate cuts.

At the same time, prices have been anything but stable, swinging between record highs and sharp pullbacks.

So what’s really going on, and is this a smart time to be buying gold?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to David Mitchell, Managing Director, Indigo Precious Metals, to find out more.
