Intent and significance of Singapore Open Legal Information Database presented at its official launch
- On 18 November 2025, Singapore’s first open empirical legal database, the Singapore Open Legal Informatics Database (SOLID), was officially launched with support from the Ministry of Law, Singapore. Housed at SMU’s Centre for Digital Law, the three-year initiative will compile and release machine-readable datasets containing key statistical information on Singapore court decisions, statutes, legal scholarship, and judicial structures. The project is led by Assistant Professor Jerrold Soh as Principal Investigator and Assistant Professor Dirk Hartung as Co-Investigator, with support from research engineers and student assistants from SMU. Pictured is Assistant Professor Jerrold Soh presenting to the audience at the launch event. In his presentation, he highlighted that while Singapore’s legal system is internationally recognised for its openness and digital maturity, the availability of locally developed computational research and tools focused on Singapore law remains limited. He explained that SOLID aims to address this gap by establishing a key piece of legal data infrastructure that will create new opportunities to study, teach, and develop innovations for Singapore law. He also introduced the project’s vision, four-phase methodology, and the scope of the forthcoming machine-readable datasets, which will cover court decisions, statutes, legal scholarship, and judicial structures. Together with co-investigator Assistant Professor Dirk Hartung, the project team outlined how SOLID will empower researchers, policymakers, law firms, and legal technology developers to generate data-driven insights and advance innovation within Singapore’s legal ecosystem.

SMU Visionary Series 2026 explores the transformative impact of AI on business, technology and leadership
- On 1 October 2026, Singapore Management University (SMU), in partnership with BlackRock, hosted the SMU Visionary Series, bringing together leaders from investment, enterprise and technology for a fireside chat entitled “The AI Shift: Redefining Business, Technology, and Leadership.” Attended by some 300 participants from academia, government and industry, the discussion explored the transformative impact of AI on organisations and the evolving world of work. Key insights included the role of strong governance in enabling innovation to scale in highly regulated industries such as finance, the need for organisations to rethink business models rather than simply optimise existing processes with AI, and the growing importance of human capabilities such as critical thinking, articulation and judgement. The conversation highlighted that the AI shift extends beyond technological advancement to encompass how organisations build the capabilities to harness AI, how leaders exercise sound judgement and governance, and how individuals continue to learn and adapt in a changing world of work. Through the SMU Visionary Series, SMU aims to provide a platform for leading voices from industry and academia to exchange perspectives on the forces shaping business and society. By fostering dialogue around emerging technologies and their wider implications, the series encourages meaningful conversations on how innovation can be harnessed to create impact.
