Elith to speak at the release event for "C Certification," a new third-party certification for the AI era

Introducing tips for obtaining C Certification and key points for building a structure that supports safe and secure AI use by companies

Elith Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Koki Inoue; hereinafter "Elith") announces that it will speak at the release event for "C Certification," the AI governance third-party certification system organized by the Japan Deep Learning Association (hereinafter "JDLA").

While AI adoption is rapidly expanding across corporate activities, risks that companies must face — such as information leaks, copyright and rights infringement, misinformation, shadow AI, and gaps between internal rules and actual operations — are also becoming apparent. Amid this situation, companies are being asked to establish rules and management structures for using AI safely and appropriately, and to achieve both business growth and risk management.

At this event, an overview of the AI governance third-party certification system "C Certification (AI Governance Core Certification)," established by JDLA, and the process for obtaining certification will be introduced. In addition, companies that obtained certification early will share the challenges they faced and real examples of internal coordination on the way to certification. As a certified consulting firm for C Certification, Elith will introduce key points for building and operating an AI governance structure and how to proceed with preparations for obtaining C Certification.

■ What is C Certification

C Certification is a new certification system operated by the Japan Deep Learning Association (JDLA), in which JDLA, as a third party, certifies that a company's AI governance initiatives meet its certification criteria. As the use of AI, including generative AI, spreads, companies are being asked to establish rules for using AI safely and appropriately, manage risk, and build an ongoing operational structure. As a new certification that objectively demonstrates these AI governance efforts, C Certification plays an important role in helping companies demonstrate trustworthiness to customers and society in the age of AI.
