Generative AI: What Are The Current And Future Implications For APAC GCs Christopher CHAN•Christian GREISSINGER•Trina HA•Barbara TSAI•Prashant CHOUBE
Generative AI, a cutting-edge technology capable of creating original content such as images, text, and even music, holds profound implications for General Counsels. Currently, GCs are navigating its application in various legal contexts, including contract generation, risk assessment, and compliance monitoring.

Rajah & Tann • Cross-border digital trade in services and goods: Critical Legal Pain-Points – An ASEAN Review Kala ANANDARAJAH•Eunice QUAY•Winston WONG•Melisa UREMOVIC
Global trade continues to thrive physically and digitally; even as legal and other practical issues struggle to keep up. What are the relevant laws? What are the practical issues to work around? How do we ensure end-to-end delivery of the services and goods are not tripped up by a remote rule that perhaps should no longer apply? How do we manage licensing and permitting concerns, including export control issues? What preferential treatment can one obtain? How do IHC’s keep themselves aware and alert to these issues to be able to guide business?
This session takes a practical approach as it takes a ground review, yet a forward-looking approach to ease the life of IHCs as they work with businesses to move goods and services. We review the current state of the law and rules, review what’s on the horizon, and address pain points to achieve ease of doing business.

Rajah & Tann • AI / GenAI risk aspects and Disputes & Crisis Management concerning the Data and Digital Economy Jansen CHOW•Rajesh SREENIVASAN•Sheng Rong TNG•Carol LEE
The growing pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our daily lives brings great opportunities in terms of productivity gains and cost savings for business. However, there are significant risks of AI systems that must be understood such as hallucination, disinformation and deepfakes. In this talk, we will cover Singapore's approach to AI governance and implementable strategies in achieving responsible, ethical development and deployment of AI solutions in your organisation. We will also share best practices and implementable governance policies in managing the risks of using AI systems in your organisation.
Today’s data-driven economy is intrinsically intertwined with technology. Every day, individuals, businesses and governments strive to understand, adopt and integrate the latest technologies into their work. This constantly evolving landscape gives rise to novel and complex disputes that span across multiple jurisdictions. We will discuss some of the latest issues that have arisen in such technology disputes, such as the increasing prevalence of unknown identities in the digital realm, the protection of technology-related rights in an era of digital property and AI “authors”, as well as effective strategies that you can adopt when faced with technology disputes.

Allen & Gledhill • Future and trend of ESG disputes Margaret Joan LING•Benjamin SMITH•William PANLILIO
In recent times, there has been a proliferation of ESG-related litigation overseas against companies and their directors, such as Okpabi v Roya Dutch Shell Plc and another and ClientEarth v Shell, respectively. There has also been notable ESG-related legislation being enacted overseas. For instance, Germany’s Due Diligence Supply Chain Act was enacted on 1 January 2023, and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive is currently going through the legislation process. It is expected that Singapore companies will see more ESG-related clauses in their contracts with European companies moving forward. In Singapore, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore is also developing a set of guidelines regarding environmental claims which could amount to unfair practice.
This panel discussion aims to look at potential trends of ESG disputes in Singapore from the perspective of an in-house counsel, a private practitioner and a litigation funder. We will explore:
1. ESG-related lawsuits that have been filed overseas 2. Implications on directors’ duties 3. Greenwashing claims 4. Issues that can arise from ESG-related contractual clauses

Allen & Gledhill • Shaping Tomorrow’s AI: Legal and Policy Insights into Generative AI Regulation Jia Yi TOH•Darshini RAMIAH
Generative AI continues to take centre stage with the introduction of Singapore’s National AI Strategy 2.0. While Singapore does not presently have a specific legislation governing generative AI, there exist a variety of laws and frameworks which are potentially relevant to its use. Most recently, Singapore’s Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA) proposed a draft Model AI Governance Framework for Generative AI (Model Framework), which is anticipated to be finalised in mid-2024.
Join our speakers from A&G and IMDA for an engaging discussion on the current state of and recent developments in AI governance in Singapore, and how these compare to the approaches in other jurisdictions. This will be a unique opportunity to hear directly from our regulators on Singapore’s AI governance policies and the upcoming Model Framework.”

iManage • Day in the life of a Corporate Counsel (Session 1) Cheng Kwee CHUA•Jason LIM
In this session, we look at how a day in the life of a Corporate Legal Counsel could be made more efficient and productive using technologies. We will look at how technologies can help in areas such as managing legal advice/requests, producing, and managing legal documents, agreements and contracts, meeting regulatory compliance and many more, with the aim of freeing up the Counsel's time to provide more expert advice. For counsels who oversee a larger team, we will discuss how technologies can help them better manage their team and the various tasks assigned to them.
In addition, we will also look at how such solutions can help Counsels better manage their communications and interactions with the other business units within the organization and external parties, leading to better collaboration and better results for their respective companies.
Finally, with growing regulatory requirements placed on companies in all areas that companies operate in, we will also discuss how technology can help Counsels become the guardians of risk for the organization by helping counsels identify compliance, risks and other potential breaches so that the company can take preventive action to eliminate those risks.
