AI Policy
At Atsumi & Sakai, we are committed to creating value for our clients by cultivating innovative cutting-edge creativity, continuously taking on new challenges, and embracing diversity to foster rich ideas and flexible thinking. We believe that contributing to the realization of a sustainable, prosperous and vibrant future is one of our core social missions.
In such a future, artificial intelligence (AI) will become increasingly embedded in society and have a significant impact on human behavior and decision-making. Recognizing both the essential role AI can play in building a sustainable and dynamic society, and the potential for unforeseen effects on individuals, we have established this “AI Policy” (hereinafter referred to as “this Policy”) in line with our responsibility as a law firm dedicated to shaping such a future.
Based on this Policy, we are committed to using AI responsibly, building society’s trust as we strive to create a sustainable and dynamic future.
1. Addressing Social Issues and Achieving a Sustainable Society
Rather than restricting the use of AI, we will actively harness its potential to help address social challenges and contribute to building a sustainable and vibrant society.
2. A Human-Centered Society
We are committed to creating a society that places people at its core, respecting both human dignity and individual autonomy. In using AI, we will give due consideration to diversity, fairness, safety, and privacy, and take steps to prevent bias and discrimination by ensuring appropriate use in terms of both scope and method.
3. AI Governance and Talent Development
To implement this Policy effectively, we will establish and operate AI governance processes, ensuring fair and sound use of AI. We will also actively work to develop professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to use AI responsibly.
4. Ensuring Information Security and Legal Compliance
We will take measures to ensure information security and prevent unauthorized access, thereby creating an environment in which AI can be used safely. We will of course also comply with all applicable laws and regulations and strive to avoid any infringement of third-party rights in our use of AI.
5. Transparency and Accountability
We will strive to ensure AI transparency of AI by verifying its inputs, outputs, and decision-making processes to confirm they are accurate and reliable. Furthermore, we will provide stakeholders with clear and appropriate explanations regarding these matters.
