Law / Promoting FDI and SDGs through judicial development
« on: July 25, 2019, 07:26:49 PM »
Sustainable development and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are somehow strongly connected which is widely recognised by a large number of policy instruments. For example, the Rio Earth Summit 1992 affirmed that investment is critical to the ability of developing countries to achieve needed economic growth to improve the welfare of their population and to meet their basic needs in a sustainable manner. The Monterrey Consensus and World Summit on Sustainable Development (2000) also recognised that mobilising FDI is important to achieve the goals of eradicating poverty, effectuating economic growth and promoting sustainable development. Goal 17.5 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sets a target for adopting and implementing investment promotion regime for the least developed countries. Therefore, FDI is recognised for its role in establishing economic foundation of achieving sustainable development which eventually prompts the developing countries to extend the investors some broad standards of protection and incentives even with a little or no corresponding obligations.

Law / Who Will Win the Race for Artificial Intelligence?
« on: July 24, 2019, 06:04:21 PM »
The race to develop artificial intelligence (AI) is gathering momentum, and as the United States and China pull ahead, other countries, especially in the developing world, are lagging far behind. If they don’t catch up, their economic and political prospects will be grim.

For those countries at the back of the pack, the economic challenges will be hard enough: In an automated world, there will be far less demand for the unskilled labor they’ve typically provided. But the political dangers will be equally daunting. AI already makes it possible to hack human beings—to collect data about individuals and then use it to decipher, predict, and manipulate their desires. For example, reporting by a number of newspapers revealed that Cambridge Analytica had done just that with American voters’ Facebook data.
