The two companies will consider developing management and operational mechanisms aligned with laws and regulations, ethical standards, and internal rules.
NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS株式会社 and 日本アイ・ビー・エム株式会社 have entered into a basic agreement on collaboration in the area of AI governance. To create an environment in which companies can use AI agents with confidence, they will consider establishing mechanisms for monitoring AI usage and continuously managing and auditing it.
As AI agents increasingly make decisions and take actions autonomously, risks such as regulatory violations and information leaks are rising, creating a need for stronger controls.
NTT DOCOMO BUSINESS株式会社 has a track record in data security and digital identity, and supports companies' use of data and AI through services including 析秘 and SmartLiTA. 日本アイ・ビー・エム株式会社, meanwhile, has provided expertise and products in AI governance, security, and risk management.
The basic agreement covers consideration of architectures and usage models for implementing AI governance, potential application areas, and delivery models and implementation structures with a view to future commercialization and business development. Going forward, the companies will conduct successive demonstrations with the aim of advancing corporate use of AI.
