Mui Kim Chu, Associate Professor, Singapore Institute of Technology

Mui Kim is an Associate Professor with the Accountancy programme of the Singapore Institute of Technology. She is a strong advocate for leveraging technology to facilitate students’ learning, particularly in integrating pedagogy with tech-enhanced innovative practices, to improve students’ engagement and learning outcomes. Her excellence in teaching has been recognized with multiple SIT Teaching Excellence Awards. As a recipient of the SIT Fellowship (Education) award, her applied research is centered on the integration of generative AI (GenAI) in education. Her work emphasizes the design of generative AI tools and agents that are both instructionally effective and ethically grounded, ensuring their relevance to real-world educational contexts. She has developed and deployed various AI-based applications to personalize and gamify learning. These tools offer interactive, hands-on experiences that enable students to apply theoretical principles, thereby enhancing their critical thinking and decision-making skills. For her talk, Mui Kim will be presenting on: From Tools to Teammates: Building GenAI that teaches Generative AI agents aren’t just tools—they can be teaching partners. In this talk, we will explore how to build AI agents that serve real pedagogical purposes, from tutoring students in discipline-specific skills to supporting self-directed learning. We will look at how thoughtfully designed prompts and agent behaviours can spark deeper inquiry and critical thinking, rather than just delivering answers. Most importantly, we will discuss how to keep the human at the centre—ensuring these agents are transparent, trustworthy, and always working in service of educators and learners.
