+Singapore's legal resource database, LawNet, will launch a generative AI tool called GPT-Legal in September to help lawyers efficiently research court judgments. The tool, developed by the Singapore Academy of Law and the Infocomm Media Development Authority, can provide summaries for the database's 15,000 court judgments. It also has trust and safety features, such as accuracy scores and paragraph references for cross-checking. The Chief Justice of Singapore, Sundaresh Menon, highlighted that AI can also assist with document production, due diligence, and case outcome assessments. He urged law firms to explore AI tools to improve service delivery to clients. \[[link](https://www.singaporelawwatch.sg/Headlines/New-generative-AI-feature-to-help-lawyers-summarise-court-judgments-from-September)\]

+Singapore is updating its national cyber-security strategy, known as the Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Masterplan, in response to increasing cyber threats. The plan, first announced in 2019, aims to protect critical physical systems that are now connected to internet-linked devices. The updated strategy includes training more cyber-security professionals and incorporating cyber-security syllabi into computer science and engineering courses at universities and polytechnics. The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) will collaborate with institutes of higher learning to enhance expertise in OT cyber security. The CSA will also publish a Cybersecurity Education and Learning Guide for those interested in a career in OT cyber security. The refreshed masterplan expands on the 2019 strategy by including more organizations and sectors in information sharing and implementing cyber-security measures. \[[link](https://www.singaporelawwatch.sg/Headlines/National-cyber-security-strategy-to-protect-critical-systems-gets-update-as-cyber-threats-rise)\]
