Delighted to be back in Singapore.

A special thank you to Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, Dr. Stanley Lai, SC and Mr. Amrin Amrin for taking the time to meet and catch up during my relatively short trip.

Thank you also to Mark Lim for inviting me to speak on the regulation of AI. I explained to a diverse audience of key stakeholders why Singapore was well poised to ride the AI wave, shared my thoughts on recent developments in the US, and the key role it could play in establishing a principled and pragmatic global code of conduct. I enjoyed hearing from Jeth Lee Larissa Lim Paul McClelland, and Cheryl Seah. Their impressive command of local and international legal developments was rivaled only by their nuanced appreciation of norms, interests, and priorities underlying AI regulation in the key jurisdictions.

Pleased to sit down with Joe Allen, the Executive Director of the Bayh-Dole Coalition. Mr. Allen has been a leader in national efforts to foster public/private sector R&D partnerships. He was the key staffer securing the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act, opening up collaborations between research universities and the U.S. industry. The Economist Technology Quarterly called this law “possibly the most inspired piece of legislation to be enacted in America over the past half-century.”

He was the lead witness in South Africa, helping secure passage of their Bayh-Dole law. he co-chaired the White House Lab to Market Summit and contributes a monthly column for I.P.

Penn State Dickinson Law’s Profiles in Leadership series offers an unparalleled opportunity to glean insights from top leaders who serve in government, education, the private sector, and civil society. In each episode, we invite these leaders to reflect on their journey and share skills, core values, and qualities that make them the leaders they are today.

This special episode features Penn State University Provost Justin Schwartz in one of his first “live” interviews as Provost.

Hope and trust that you will too.

Israel is a nation abuzz with innovation. Honored to meet some of the key stakeholders contributing to its remarkable achievements at the invitation of Professor Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid. Among her many roles, she serves on the advisory board of Penn State Dickinson Law’s IP & Innovation Initiative.

Over three days, I had the privilege of seeing current legal and policy issues through the eyes of academics, entrepreneurs, judges, lawyers, and students in Israel. I gave two lectures on technology and IP and technology and antitrust at Ono Academic College, a remarkably dynamic institution on the rise. As a bonus, I caught up with Professor Peter Yu (Texas A&M University School of Law) and Rob Sterne (Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox) also happened to visit Israel then.

Like Dickinson Law, diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to Ono’s mission. At Ono, “students learn about the diverse cultures that make up Israeli society.” It also “provides scholarships to students of underserved populations to encourage diversity and access to education” (https://lnkd.in/eP-nfGDn). I witnessed this firsthand with students making up the mosaic of Israeli society studying alongside each other. Ono’s curriculum is also very responsive to industry needs, ensuring high employment rates upon graduation.
