​​Final revision date: March 7, 2025

 

​​​​Preamble

New York General Group (hereinafter "the Company") recognizes both the infinite possibilities of artificial intelligence technology and the significant responsibilities associated with its development, deployment, and use. This policy applies to all artificial intelligence systems and services developed and provided by the Company and aims to ensure the highest ethical standards and social responsibility. The Company commits to contributing to the realization of a sustainable and just society while harmonizing technological innovation with human-centered values.

Fundamental Principles

The fundamental principles of our responsible AI development and use are as follows:

We adopt a human-centered approach, prioritizing human welfare, rights, freedom, and dignity. AI systems should enhance human capabilities and contribute to solving social challenges without compromising human autonomy.

We promote innovation that benefits society as a whole while balancing technical excellence with ethical considerations. We pursue development that considers social impact, not merely technological possibilities.

We emphasize diversity, fairness, and inclusivity, striving to create an environment where all people can benefit from technology. We thoroughly implement system designs that do not cause unjust discrimination or disadvantages to specific groups or individuals.

Specific Initiatives

 

1. Transparency and Accountability

The Company ensures transparency in the development and operation processes of AI systems and fulfills its accountability to stakeholders. Specifically, we implement the following initiatives:

- Clearly communicate the functions, capabilities, and limitations of AI systems to users
- Make the operating principles of AI algorithms involved in important decision-making as explainable as possible
- Appropriately disclose the basis for judgments and recommendations made by AI systems
- Conduct regular audits and evaluations, sharing the results with relevant parties

 

2. Fairness and Bias Mitigation

The Company continuously works to identify and mitigate unfair biases in AI systems.

- Implement rigorous collection and selection processes to ensure diversity and representativeness of training data
- Develop and apply multifaceted metrics and methodologies to evaluate algorithmic fairness
- Assess and address potential adverse effects on vulnerable groups and minorities in advance
- Promote internal diversity to enable system evaluation from different perspectives

3. Privacy and Data Protection

The Company respects individual privacy rights and implements the highest standards of protection measures in the collection, processing, storage, and use of data.

- Collect and use only the minimum data necessary to achieve objectives, based on the principle of data minimization
- Establish clear consent processes for the processing of personal data
- Implement cutting-edge encryption technologies and security measures to minimize data breach risks
- Respect the rights of data subjects (access, correction, deletion, etc.) and facilitate their exercise

4. Safety and Robustness

The Company implements comprehensive measures to ensure the safety, reliability, and robustness of AI systems.

- Thoroughly conduct risk assessments and implement mitigation measures at all stages of development
- Strengthen resistance to unexpected situations and malicious attacks
- Establish mechanisms for continuous monitoring and prompt problem response
- Unhesitatingly implement temporary suspension or withdrawal of systems when serious safety risks are identified

5. Environmental Sustainability

The Company recognizes the environmental impact of AI technology and strives to minimize it.

- Promote the development and use of energy-efficient algorithms and computational infrastructure
- Measure carbon emissions and set reduction targets
- Work to expand the use of renewable energy
- Actively promote contributions to solving environmental problems through AI

6. Human Oversight and Control

The Company always ensures appropriate human supervision and final judgment in important decision-making.

- Design and implement effective collaboration models between humans and AI
- Require human verification and approval processes for decisions with particularly significant impacts
- Clearly define the degree of autonomy of AI systems and points of human intervention
- Implement human override functions for emergencies in all systems

Education and Awareness

The Company provides continuous education and awareness on responsible AI development and use to all employees. We particularly emphasize the following initiatives:

- Conduct basic training on ethical AI development for all employees
- Provide specialized training programs for developers
- Regularly share information on the latest research trends and regulatory environments
- Create opportunities for case studies and discussions on ethical dilemmas
- Recognize and encourage employees who contribute to responsible AI development

Conclusion

New York General Group recognizes the transformative power of AI technology and commits to contributing to the realization of a more just and sustainable society through its responsible development and use. This policy will be regularly reviewed and updated in response to technological evolution and changes in social expectations. In cooperation with all stakeholders, we will promote the development of technology that prioritizes human welfare and dignity.​​​​
