NTU Singapore launches four new Master's programmes leveraging advancements in AI

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is launching four new master’s degree programmes in 2026 to prepare professionals for the opportunities and challenges of an AI-driven future.

The programmes are:

•         Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIMed),

•         Master of Arts in Digital Humanities (MADH),

•         Master of Science in Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (Enterprise AI), and

•         Master of Science (Chinese Medicine).

AIMed will train healthcare professionals, engineers and technologists to apply AI responsibly in clinical settings; MADH, the first of its kind in Singapore, will connect digital tools with humanistic inquiry to address the cultural and ethical dimensions of digitalisation; Enterprise AI will produce “AI-savvy” professionals who can translate AI potential into enterprise value; and the MSc in Chinese Medicine will advance holistic healthcare by combining traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge with modern clinical and research practices.

These programmes are designed to tackle pressing challenges in healthcare, business, culture, and holistic medicine, while advancing Singapore’s priorities in cultivating a future-ready workforce, driving responsible AI adoption, and reinforcing the nation’s standing as a trusted global hub for innovation and integrative healthcare.

A new study finds that where financial advisors were raised plays a significant role in establishing their core code of ethics, which has a significant impact on their professional behavior as adults. Specifically, researchers found that where advisors grew up significantly predicted the likelihood that they engaged in professional misconduct as adults – regardless of whether they worked in the same area where they were raised.

In 2013, the US Department of Justice launched Operation Choke Point to pressure some banks into cutting ties with businesses that were deemed risky or undesirable. Included in the operation were payday lenders, firearm and ammunition dealers, tobacco vendors, online gambling sites, and even escort services. The strategy was simple: If targeted banks refused to lend to controversial companies, their access to capital would dry up, eventually squeezing them out of the marketplace. Now, more than a decade later, a team of economists from the University of Rochester, University of Michigan, University of Maryland, and the Federal Reserve Board found that Operation Choke Point didn’t work.
