Responsible AI Statement

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence is becoming a natural part of how modern services are delivered. At Trask, we approach its use proactively, transparently, and in a controlled manner, both within our internal operations and in the services we provide to clients.

AI is not treated as an experimental add-on but as a governed component of our operating model. Its use is subject to structured oversight and remains firmly under human control, validation, and accountability.

We recognise that AI introduces risks, including data protection, accuracy, intellectual property, and compliance considerations. These risks are managed systematically, in line with legal requirements, contractual commitments, and client expectations, with transparency and trust as fundamental principles.

Our Principles of Responsible AI Use

Our approach to Artificial Intelligence is guided by a set of core principles that define how AI is used across our activities, regardless of the specific context or domain of its application. These principles ensure that the adoption of AI remains aligned with our professional standards, ethical expectations, and client requirements.

Human Control

AI is used to support human expertise, not to replace it. Human judgment remains key part to all activities, particularly where outcomes may have business, legal, or operational impact.

Accountability

The use of AI does not affect Trask’s accountability; The use of AI does not dilute accountability; all outputs, decisions, and deliverables remain under the responsibility of Trask and its designated experts.

Security and Data Protection

Protection of data is a fundamental priority. AI is used in a manner that safeguards confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information.

Transparency and Explainability

The use of AI must be explainable and appropriately transparent. We ensure that the role of AI in our processes can be explained and does not create hidden or uncontrolled dependencies.

Fairness and Ethical Use

AI is used in a manner that respects ethical standards and avoids unintended harm. We are mindful of risks such as bias or discrimination and take steps to mitigate them where relevant.

Proportional and Risk-Based Use

The level of control applied to AI usage is proportionate to the associated risks. Situations with greater potential impact are subject to increased scrutiny and oversight.

Continuous Improvement

AI capabilities and risks evolve rapidly, and so does our approach. We continuously review and improve our practices to reflect technological developments and regulatory changes.

Governance and Oversight

The use of AI at Trask is subject to structured governance and continuous oversight. We ensure that AI is managed within a defined framework of roles, responsibilities, and controls. Our governance approach is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect evolving technologies and risks.

Final Statement

Trask is committed to using Artificial Intelligence in a responsible, transparent, and controlled manner. Our goal is to ensure trust and long-term value both for our own business and for our clients in the services we deliver. This statement reflects Trask’s general principles and internal approach to the responsible use of AI and does not create contractual obligations or modify the terms of any agreement with clients.
