Japanese
As the application of AI expands in a variety of fields, the ethical issues posed by AI are becoming more apparent.
To use AI with confidence and to achieve trusted AI,
Fujitsu has released an AI Ethics Impact Assessment to assess the ethical impact on people and society.
It enables us to understand the impact of AI before it is provided, and it can be used for trustworthy AI design and audit.

AI Ethics Impact Assessment Toolkit
AI Ethics Impact Assessment toolkit has been released on Fujitsu Kozuchi/Fujitsu AI Ethics Impact Assessment to reduce the manhours for AI's risk assessment. It is now open to the public.（The page is unavailable from 14:00 to 17:00pm (JST) every Thursday due to scheduled maintenance.） If you are interested in trying the tool, please contact us.
Challenges
AI ethical principles set by governments and standardization organizations are abstract, making it difficult to create checklists for AI services that suit the field.
When inputting a checklist, the interpretation of items varies depending on the item.
Solutions
By simply inputting the mutual relationships between stakeholders (for example, developers, data providers, users) of an AI service visualized by a GUI tool, the ethical risks of that AI will be comprehensively presented (generate a checklist depending on the AI).
Expected users
AI governance and quality assurance personnel, AI system planning and design personnel
Strength
AI ethics impact assessment method: Build an “incident knowledge base” that integrates the European Union’s AI ethics guidelines and analysis results of past AI service incident reports. Used for risk assessment.
The ability to comprehensively extract ethical risks from the guideline perspective simply by entering information in the GUI is ahead of other companies.
