Strategic Partnership Between Tokio Marine dR and Corpy for AI Risk Management
Tokio Marine dR (TdR) and Corpy & Co. will begin a strategic business partnership from July 2025 aimed at supporting the promotion of AI utilization by Japanese companies.
Through this partnership, TdR's AI governance-related expertise will be combined with Corpy's advanced AI technology to contribute to solving challenges that companies face in AI development, provision, and utilization.
1. Background
In recent years, as the use of AI technology by companies has rapidly advanced, ensuring the safety and reliability of AI systems has become an important challenge. Particularly with discussions progressing on AI-related regulations including the EU AI Act, and with Japan's "AI Promotion Act" being enacted in May 2025, momentum for appropriate AI utilization is growing both domestically and internationally. Companies are now required to ensure explainability and transparency in the design, development, and operation of AI products and AI services.
In light of this situation, TdR, which provides AI governance construction and risk assessment solutions, and Corpy, which provides solutions to improve AI safety, explainability, and transparency, have begun a strategic business partnership to contribute to promoting AI utilization by Japanese companies.
2. Overview of the Business Partnership
This partnership will utilize Corpy's XAI (Explainable AI) technology and QAAI (Quality Assurance for AI) technology to provide the following three values to companies:
- Reduction of AI model development costs: Achieve shortened development periods and cost reduction through efficient development processes and quality verification
- Reduction of AI service failure risks: Prevent unexpected failures during operation through advanced quality verification
- Fulfillment of accountability: Support for fulfilling accountability to stakeholders by visualizing AI decision-making rationale
By combining Corpy's cutting-edge AI technology with TdR's AI governance and risk consulting expertise, we will solve AI implementation challenges particularly in mission-critical domains and promote innovative AI utilization by companies.
3. Solutions Provided in Collaboration with Corpy and Their Advantages
(1) Third-Party AI Quality Verification Service
Corpy's "Third-Party AI Quality Verification Service" is a service that objectively verifies the quality of AI systems developed and operated by companies and provides specific improvement proposals. This service utilizes Corpy's proprietary XAI (Explainable AI) technology and QAAI (Quality Assurance for AI) technology to conduct AI model performance evaluation, bias detection, vulnerability analysis, and robustness testing.
The EU AI Act mandates documentation of third-party evaluation results regarding conformity, accuracy, robustness, and transparency for certain AI systems. This service serves as a foundation solution for responding to such global regulations. As similar regulatory compliance is likely to be required in other countries and regions in the future, establishing compliance systems early can secure competitive advantages in terms of regulatory response capabilities and reliability.
(2) Explainable AI (XAI) Solution
Corpy's "Explainable AI (XAI) Solution" is an innovative service that visualizes AI decision-making rationale. Using proprietary Post-hoc XAI technology (technology that adds explanations to existing AI models after the fact), it makes AI decision-making processes transparent.
Main Features:
- Visualizes decision-making rationale from input/output data even when AI model internal structure is unknown
- Supports diverse data formats including tabular data, image data, and text data
- Can be applied retroactively to existing AI systems
Expected Effects of the Solution:
- Fulfillment of Accountability: Ensures transparency in AI-driven decision-making processes and enables fulfillment of accountability to stakeholders. Particularly effective in fields requiring high accountability such as finance and healthcare.
- Accelerated Bug Fixes: When prediction accuracy deteriorates during AI model operation, visualizing how specific input values affect model output enables quick identification of causes and accurate corrections or retraining. This makes it possible to maintain AI quality.
(3) Full Custom AI Implementation Support with Consideration for Explainability and Transparency
Utilizing Corpy's QAAI (Quality Assurance for AI) technology and Post-hoc XAI technology, we have extensive experience in developing and implementing AI systems in mission-critical domains. Leveraging this experience, we provide total support for planning, requirement definition, development, and operation of full custom AI systems for business efficiency improvement in various fields including mobility, manufacturing, and healthcare.

4. Synergistic Effects of Strategic Partnership with Corpy
This partnership brings effectiveness to customers' AI governance measures by combining both companies' expertise.
TdR supports the construction of organizational structures, preparation of regulations, and business process design to ensure transparency and reliability throughout the AI development, provision, and utilization processes, taking into account customers' unique industry characteristics and corporate culture. In response, Corpy leverages cutting-edge XAI and QAAI technologies to establish AI system transparency from a technical perspective through visualization of AI decision-making rationale and quality verification.
Through this strategic collaboration, companies will be able to not only materialize AI governance principles but also realize the implementation and operation of AI systems faithful to those principles. By seamlessly providing everything from AI governance structure construction to technology introduction for governance measure implementation, we establish a reliable path to "safe AI utilization that combines transparency and reliability" that balances regulatory compliance with business value creation.
