Our group has been committed to creating value by addressing social issues under the corporate philosophy of "Creating the Future M&A Market through M&A Tech." By integrating AI (artificial intelligence) with the unique expertise we have cultivated over the years, we will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable society through the creation of new value.
While recognizing the numerous benefits that AI can bring, we are also aware of the potential negative impacts if it is used improperly. To ensure that AI is used appropriately and with an understanding of the necessary considerations, our group has established a basic AI policy. Based on these policies, we aim to maximize the potential of AI while minimizing any negative impacts, thus contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.

2. Creating New Value
By integrating our unique expertise with external collaboration and fostering co-creation, we aim to lead in solving social issues across a wide range of fields by creating new value. Additionally, by actively utilizing AI, we will promote efficiency in our operations and work to provide high levels of value that society demands.
3. Ensuring Safety
Our group is committed to the design, development, and use of AI in a manner that does not threaten individual life, freedom, dignity, or property. We will not use AI in applications that could cause harm to life, body, or property. We will anticipate possible scenarios arising from the diverse use of AI, establish internal verification systems, and conduct appropriate validation.
4. Transparency and Accountability
Our group will strive to ensure transparency in AI decision-making processes and to fulfill our accountability regarding the impacts of AI utilization. We also aim to develop and use AI that has a high level of reliability, verifiability, and explainability regarding the basis for its decisions.
5. Protecting Privacy and Ensuring Information Security
We recognize the potential impact of data collected and used through AI on the rights and interests of individuals and organizations. We will ensure that this data is handled in a proper environment, adhering to internal regulations, relevant laws, and social ethics, to safeguard privacy and security. In handling personal information, we will apply the M&A Research Institute Holdings, Inc.' Privacy Policy, with careful consideration for proper management and operation.
6. Development of AI Talent and Literacy
