Keynotes & Panel Appearances

Generative AI has fundamentally changed how disinformation is created and distributed, but the legal frameworks most governments rely on were designed for a different era. This talk examines what law can and cannot do in response to AI-generated disinformation, maps the multi-mechanism approach that evidence suggests is most effective, and offers a framework for policymakers and platforms building governance responses in 2025 and beyond.

Platforms govern users through design, algorithms, and contractual terms far more effectively than any legislation. Drawing on fifteen years of research into how copyright, terms of service, and code architecture interact, this talk examines what it means for law when the most consequential rules are written in software, and what regulators can do about it.

When global AI governance conversations happen, Asia is frequently absent, despite being home to more than half the world's internet users and some of its most innovative regulatory experiments. This talk draws on Singapore's POFMA experience, the IMDA's Agentic AI Framework, and regulatory developments across the region to argue for why Asian governance perspectives are not optional but essential to any credible global framework.
