■ Background and Reasons for Adopting 'LegalOn'
(1) Background and Reasons for Adoption
In recent years, against the backdrop of heightened compliance awareness and the diversification and sophistication of contract contents, the number of confirmation items required by our legal department has increased. Under the current structure, it has become increasingly difficult to balance routine screening work with specialized screening work. Based on this situation, we decided to introduce 'LegalOn', which is equipped with a legal-specialized AI agent, with the aim of building an efficient and accurate screening process and driving our business forward.
(2) Future Expectations
If generative AI can be utilized for initial reviews and risk extraction in the business divisions, the preliminary stage of contract screening will be streamlined. We believe this will allow the legal department to focus on tasks requiring more advanced judgment and responses to compliance risks. Therefore, we expect the highly reliable 'LegalOn', equipped with a legal-specialized AI agent, to continuously improve its accuracy daily, becoming a system that not only the legal department but also the business divisions can entrust with their work with greater peace of mind.
