TOKYO – Araki International IP&Law (“AIL”) today is pleased to announce the launch of a training and consulting service for companies and organizations focused on “AI Governance and Legal & Ethical Risk Management” to address the complex legal and ethical challenges associated with the rapid evolution and social implementation of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology.
This new service is designed to minimize potential risks in AI implementation and utilization and provides practical solutions to enable companies and organizations to reap the benefits of AI in a safe and responsible manner.
Comprehensive support for risk management essential in the AI era:
While AI technology offers immense opportunities for business, a new set of legal and ethical challenges has emerged, including data privacy violations, intellectual property issues, bias discrimination, and accountability uncertainty. AIL assists clients in addressing these complex and multifaced concerns by providing practical insights and tools covering the following diverse aspects:
• Fundamentals and Ethical Principles of AI Technology
• Compliance with international AI regulations (including the latest legal and regulatory developments, such as the EU AI Act)
• Legal requirements for personal data and data protection
• Management and protection of copyrights and other intellectual property rights
• Trade Secret Protection Strategies
• AI-related Contract Practices and Risk Management
In addition to practical training materials, this service also provides our “practical checklist ” to help clients address specific challenges that arise when implementing AI.
Ryoichi Sugimura, an authority on AI standardization, has been appointed as an external advisor:
With the launch of this service, AIL has welcomed Ryoichi Sugimura as an external advisor to further strengthen our expertise in the field of AI. Mr. Sugimura is a leading Japanese expert in the field of AI standardization, currently serving as Chief Collaboration Officer at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), after having held key positions at major domestic companies.
We are certain that Mr. Sugimura’s deep knowledge and extensive experience will strongly support AIL in ensuring that our services remain at the forefront of technological trends and legal and ethical issues.
Akiko Araki, Attorney-at-Law, Patent Attorney, California State Bar, comments:
