An In-house Conversation: Technology Contracting Trends & Challenges
Data Privacy and Cybersecurity This panel will cover threats and challenges from hacking and cybersecurity risks, darknet, increasing defense against cybersecurity (e.g. Microsoft’s Cybersecurity Office) and the Asia-Pacific region’s privacy regulators’ “off the record” discussion on key issues that they are facing over the next 12 months and their priorities.
New business models have exploded in the past few years and are increasingly emerging as industry trendsetters, establishing serious challenges to existing business models. Models which have gained traction include “sharing economy businesses” (e.g. Airbnb, Uber), aggregators and app-based ventures (e.g. Traveloka, Grab Taxi, news aggregators). We examine legal, regulatory and industry challenges posed by growing prominence of new business models.

Transforming Industries Players with new business models are transforming how business is operated and are developing new monetisation models. These new players are entering into the space of traditional service providers, sometimes in partnership, often in competition with existing players. We look to transformation of industries through players in Fin Tech (financial sector), Telemedicine (healthcare sector), Line, Skype and WhatsApp (telecommunications and media).
Intellectual Property & Digital Media Original digital media space and its reliance on copyright laws are slowly being replaced by a wave of alternative platforms for the distribution of digital media, such as Over-The-Top (OTT) services. New digital media distribution models require new licensing models to be considered.
Artificial Intelligence We examine the current and future application of artificial intelligence (AI) in platforms such as IBM’s Watson and products such as Google’s driverless car, drones, and the impact of new AI technology on areas of law, such as tort, contract, criminal liability, privacy and international law. •
