SINGAPORE, Aug. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The judiciaries of Singapore and India discussed the impact of environmental,
social and governance issues on the liability of companies and
their directors, and the issues arising from the use of artificial
intelligence (AI) and AI-generated material at the Second Annual
India-Singapore Judicial Roundtable held on 23 August 2024 in New
Delhi, India.
The Honourable the Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon led the delegation from the
Supreme Court of Singapore to
New Delhi, India. The inaugural
Roundtable was hosted by Singapore
on 9 September 2023 and serves as a
platform for the exchange of knowledge, discussion of mutual areas
of interest, and advancement of cooperation and collaboration
between the two judiciaries annually.
Justice M. M. Sundresh from the
Indian judiciary presented insights on the environmental, social
and governance issues that have emerged because of climate change,
and how these have impacted the liability of companies and their
directors, in the context of insolvency and restructuring.
Singapore's response was
articulated by Justice See Kee Oon.
The second topic of the Roundtable was led by the Singapore judiciary which covered the
attribution of legal responsibility for harms caused by AI and the
legal status of AI-generated material. Singapore's paper was presented by Justice
Philip Jeyaretnam, with Justice
A. Muhamed Mustaque offering a
response from the Indian judiciary.
Chief Justice Menon said at the
opening of the Roundtable, "The annual Roundtable afforded us a
valuable platform for discussions on topics of mutual interest, in
particular, issues relating to AI and climate change. These are
important and timely topics which represent some of the most
critical challenges that impact all of humanity today, and which
have already given rise to new and often complex legal issues that
transcend jurisdictional boundaries. The event underscores the
ongoing commitment of both Singapore and India to deepen our judicial cooperation and
to strengthen the rule of law in an increasingly interconnected
world. I look forward to many more of such collaborations between
our two judiciaries and I extend my deepest appreciation to Chief
Justice Chandrachud for graciously
hosting this second roundtable."
