Gain practical insights into the implementation of the newly adopted European AI Act and its immediate extraterritorial implications for legal practices across the EU and non-EU jurisdictions, including Singapore.
This essential 3-hour workshop arms Singapore-based and international lawyers with actionable insights into the European AI Act, which came into force in August 2024 and will be fully applicable by August 2026. As Singapore strengthens its position as Asia’s AI hub, understanding this landmark legislation is no longer optional—it’s imperative for legal practitioners advising tech companies and multinationals with EU market access. With specific compliance deadlines now approaching, Singapore’s legal community must master both immediate requirements and forthcoming obligations to maintain their clients’ competitive edge. The Act’s sweeping extraterritorial reach and severe penalties directly impact Singapore-based AI developers, financial institutions, and multinational corporations engaging with European markets or data.
This practical session cuts through regulatory complexity to deliver a thorough analysis of the Act’s structure, official definitions, and four-tier risk classification system. Participants will gain Singapore-relevant compliance strategies, understand enforcement mechanisms already activated, and learn to develop strategic roadmaps for clients navigating this challenging regulatory landscape. By workshop conclusion, you’ll possess practical frameworks that enhance your value proposition as legal advisors in Singapore’s increasingly AI-focused business environment.

This first module examines the European AI Act’s implementation timeline and risk-based framework. Participants will gain precise understanding of critical compliance dates that impact Singapore businesses—including February 2025 prohibitions already in effect and the August 2025 deadline for GPAI model requirements.
The session provides practical guidance on extraterritoriality provisions that directly affect Singapore’s AI ecosystem, with emphasis on efficient compliance practices that align with Singapore’s pragmatic business culture. Legal practitioners will learn how to interpret the Act’s four-tier risk system through a Singapore-oriented lens, enabling them to provide authoritative, action-oriented advice that protects client interests in both EU and ASEAN markets.
