Shaping the future of AI governance, digital trade, and sustainable policy across ASEAN, China, and beyond.
"Governance is not a constraint on innovation — it is the architecture that makes innovation trustworthy."
Looi Teck Kheong (Pak Looi) is one of Southeast Asia's most authoritative voices on AI governance, digital trade policy, and regulatory strategy. With over 35 years spanning high-stakes litigation, corporate law, multilateral diplomacy, and pioneering digital governance, he brings rare depth to global conversations on how technology should be governed, deployed, and made accountable.
As former Assistant Director for Market Integration at the ASEAN Secretariat, he shaped the frameworks that govern digital commerce and competition across 10 nations. Today, as Global AI Ambassador and Singapore Chapter President of the Global Council for Responsible AI, he advises governments, boards, and institutions on responsible AI adoption, algorithmic accountability, and digital sovereignty — from Brussels to Beijing, Riyadh to Manila.
His keynotes and panel appearances consistently earn recognition for combining rigorous policy analysis with practical insight — delivered in a style that engages technologists, policymakers, legal professionals, and business leaders alike.
