Charting the Dragon’s Ascent: A New Legal Frontier in a Shifting Business Landscape

In the final part of our series of three articles on market trends across Asia in the Year of the Dragon, we look into issues which are likely to cause disputes, as well as flows of real estate investment across Asia.

Asia’s continuing artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation is expected to bring a surge in legal disputes in the digital realm. Shaun Leong, a Singapore-based partner in Withers’ disputes team elaborates, ‘We’re entering a new era of digital disputes. The increasing use of artificial intelligence technologies will bring about new challenges to the law, including interesting questions around the allocation of liability when AI makes mistakes. At the same time, the increasing adoption of AI in Web 3.0 functionalities at the time when the digital assets markets recover from the crypto winter could mean more disputes involving the interaction of blockchain and AI technologies.
