We sat down with Mr. Yeong to delve into the rising tensions around AI ownership, the need for more transparency, and the importance of human oversight in this rapidly changing field. Our chat took us into the fascinating convergence of quantum tech and law—paving the way for a whole new frontier in tech law. Here is a summary of the conversation under four key areas:Copyright: Cases like Getty vs. Adobe and Shutterstock are testing the limits of fair use as AI scrapes data to create new content. Different countries, like the U.S. and China, are adopting contrasting approaches to copyright. The U.S. Copyright Office has dismissed the notion that prompts given to AI can grant copyright to the user, while Chinese courts have ruled in some cases that if AI-generated content demonstrates sufficient creativity via prompts, the user may claim copyright. Human-in-the-Loop: While AI can assist with tasks like summarizing legal cases or generating reports, professionals remain accountable for the final output. The Singapore Academy of Law has developed a prompt engineering guide to help lawyers use AI effectively while ensuring human supervision and responsibility in legal services.Transparency & Explainability: Transparency means knowing how AI works, but explainability is the key to understanding why it makes certain decisions. The EU AI Act mandates transparency, but explainability is still optional. Mr. Yeong highlighted the importance of explainability in building trust with users and encouraged businesses to voluntarily offer this feature, particularly in areas like healthcare.Quantum Law: While quantum computing is currently expensive and not widely accessible, its future could disrupt assumptions about data encryption and security. Mr. Yeong noted that as quantum technology advances, policies related to data protection may need to be revisited, especially for data with long-term value.Mr Yeong Zee Kin holds a Master of Laws from Queen Mary University of London and completed his undergraduate law degree at the National University of Singapore. His experience as a Technology, Media and Telecommunications lawyer spans both the private and public sectors. He has spoken and published in areas relating to electronic evidence and intellectual property, as well as legal issues relating to Blockchain and AI deployment.Zee Kin is an internationally recognized expert on AI ethics. He spearheaded the development of Singapore's Model AI Governance Framework, which won the UNITU WSIS Prize in 2019. He is currently a member of the OECD Network of Experts on AI (ONE AI). In 2019, he was a member of the AI Group of Experts at the OECD (AIGO), which developed the OECD Principles on AI. These principles have been endorsed by the G20 in 2019. He was also an observer participant at the European Commission's High-Level Expert Group on AI, which fulfilled its mandate in June 2020.Zee Kin is also a well-regarded expert on data privacy issues. He has contributed to publications on legal issues relating to data privacy and has spoken at many well-recognised international and domestic platforms on this topic.Recorded 12th September 2024 3pm.

The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) and the Infocomm Media Development Authority, recently launched LawNet AI, an AI service designed to help lawyers in Singapore do research more efficiently. Similarly, AI tools are transforming conflict resolution, helping mediators by providing data-driven recommendations and possible solutions based on historical data and prediction models.  However, while AI is set to revolutionise law, how are issues of confidentiality and data privacy being addressed?

The Singapore Academy of Law has recently published a new report on a legal principle that might be of interest to businesses. Two disputing parties cannot try to relitigate the same issue which was already decided by a foreign court, if they subsequently try to litigate again in Singapore. So what does this mean for businesses?  We speak to  Colin Seow, Managing Director, Colin Seow Chambers more about this.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Johnson is a lawyer, teacher, and writer. His fascinating career path has taken him from Miami courtrooms in the '80s to general counsel roles for Silicon Valley tech startups in the '90s, and now teaching and research posts at Stanford Law School and the Stanford Institute of Design—known as the “d.school.” His work in design began as GC and COO for a consultancy that was applying design thinking for business advice. This eventually led to his d.school class, Negotiation by Design. Today, he is applying design thinking learnings, not just to the wicked problems facing legal, but to the even bigger problems facing climate change in his new book, Climate Activism by Design, which brings design thinking to citizen activists responding to the climate change crisis. His most recent article, “Design for Legal Systems,” was published by the Singapore Academy of Law. Listen in to today's conversation to learn more about how design thinking can help with the development and improvement of human systems, how it can help lawyers think more collaboratively, and how it can move us from the feeling of individual powerlessness to collaborative power to solve massive problems such as climate change.

Dave Johnson began his career as a trial lawyer in the courtrooms of Miami. After a decade, he came to Stanford to study design, tech and environmental law. He has worked for several Silicon Valley companies, with an increasing focus on teaching, first at Stanford Law School and then the Hasso Plattner Institute for Design at Stanford (a/k/a the d.school). His most recent articles are Design for Legal Systems, to be published by the Singapore Academy of Law, Mar/Apr 2021, and  Designing Online Mediation: Does “Just Add Tech” Undermine Mediation's Ownmost Aim?, published in 2019 by FGV Direito, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Dave is currently working on a book entitled: Climate Activism by Design, bringing design principles to bear on citizen activists responding to corporate and governmental inaction on this immediate, existential crisis facing all of humanity. In this episode, we discuss the foundations of his book - how a trial lawyer shifted to design principles and thence to the design concepts behind climate activism: what it is and how to frame it such that we can find the best possible modes of action as the emergency becomes ever greater.  Dave's website and blog https://climate-activist.com/designing-a-greenprint-elements-for-a-personal-eco-philosophy/Battle for Seattle - wikihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Seattle_WTO_protestsFreya Mathews bookshttp://www.freyamathews.net/books

In this interview, Corinna connects with David Johnson, a professor who teaches Design Thinking courses at Stanford University's D-School (Hasso Plattner Institute of Design) and Negotiation at Stanford School of Law. They discuss his journey from law to design thinking and climate activism. As he says, we need a billion climate activists -- but we're not going to get them -- so he has crafted a solution to help create the change we need. David proposes a new system by which we can capitalize on the network effect and create a "greenprint" that will turn small groups of well intentioned activists around the world into a force of nature that can create real and lasting change -- with the goal of preserving and protecting our home planet. About David Johnson: David Johnson is a lawyer, writer and professor. He teaches Advanced Negotiation at Stanford Law School, and Design Thinking at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford. Across the last 20 years he has also practiced law in Silicon Valley, primarily as General Counsel for tech companies and, most recently, a non-profit foundation. His client list included some of the biggest names in science and technology: Apple, Caliper, Google, McKesson, Sankyo Pharma, and The Computer History Museum. Last year, during sabbatical in Singapore, he wrote a keynote article for the Singapore Academy of Law, Design for Legal Systems.

David Johnson of Stanford speaks about his work and teaching on Negotiation and Design Thinking (e.g. David's Stanford course Negotiation by Design: Applied Design Thinking for Negotiators). David provides some great insights into how design thinking can help improve our negotiating skills. As part of this discussion, host Gene Tunny and David reflect on how better negotiating skills, gained through design thinking, could help us solve important economic, social, and environmental challenges. Toward the end of the episode, David talks about a book he is currently writing on Climate Activism by Design.Other links relevant to the conversation include:Designing Online Mediation: Does “Just Add Tech” Undermine Mediation's Ownmost Aim?Negotiation: From Boardroom To Bedroom with David Johnsond.school resourcesAbout this episode's guestDavid Johnson is a lawyer, writer and professor.
