Reading time: 18 minutes

Written by Terry Ng Tian Yu | Edited by Josh Lee Kok Thong

LawTech.Asia is proud to collaborate with the Singapore Management University Yong Pung How School of Law’s LAW4060 AI Law, Policy and Ethics class. This collaborative special series is a collection featuring selected essays from students of the class. For the class’ final assessment, students were asked to choose from a range of practice-focused topics, such as writing a law reform paper on an AI-related topic, analysing jurisdictional approaches to AI regulation, or discussing whether such a thing as “AI law” exists. The collaboration is aimed at encouraging law students to analyse issues using the analytical frames taught in class, and apply them in practical scenarios combining law and policy.

This piece, written by Terry Ng, argues that “AI law” as a body of law exists. In doing so, Terry studies the emergence of “hard” AI laws around the world, existing laws that apply to AI and the relevance of “soft” AI law initiatives.
