Check Industrial and Construction Waste Contracts with AI! Behind the Scenes of Developing a Statutory Requirements Checker

法務AI研究所

This is the Legal AI Research Institute.
At our recent regular research meeting, various AI prompts aimed at streamlining legal operations were presented. This time, we will focus on the "Statutory Requirements Checker for Industrial and Construction Waste Disposal Contracts." By reading this article, you will understand the ingenuity behind using AI for complex contract checks and the current limitations that AI faces!

AI Automatically Determines Complex Conditional Branches! Ingenuity in Checker Development

Contracts for outsourcing the disposal of industrial and construction waste contain many items stipulated by law. Furthermore, there has been a practical challenge where the necessary items change in complex ways depending on the type of waste (industrial or construction) and the content of the outsourcing (collection/transport or disposal).

Therefore, at the research meeting, an approach was introduced where AI is pre-loaded with relevant knowledge such as guidelines, and the AI itself first determines "which pattern of contract it is." It was reported that by identifying the type, checking whether the necessary statutory requirements are covered, and then having the AI perform a "self-double-check," accuracy was improved, which became a hot topic among participating members as "likely to be useful in practice!"

It checks whether each item is present and whether there are any errors, and provides detailed explanations for items judged as NG.

Challenging the Limits of AI: The Wall Between "Text" and "Image"

On the other hand, active discussions were held regarding the limitations of AI that became apparent during the development process.

For example, in the case of a format where "the corresponding item is circled," a challenge arose where the AI could not read it correctly using only PDF information.
Currently, the prevailing view is that while it can check "whether there is an entry or not," there is still a wall for advanced visual judgments such as "whether the correct place has been circled." This is a point where expectations for future AI evolution are high.

This time, we brought you the behind-the-scenes look at the development of the statutory requirements checker for industrial and construction waste contracts. It was a very educational research meeting where we could see what AI is good at and what it is not.

The Legal AI Research Institute regularly publishes such latest legal AI trends and reports on our research meetings. Please be sure to follow our account! We plan to deliver interesting themes next time as well, so please look forward to it.

Furthermore, the Legal AI Research Institute accepts consultations on whether your problems can be solved with AI. If you have any requests such as "I want you to research this kind of issue" or "I want to consult about my company's operations," please feel free to contact us!
