Introduction

The Board of Directors of Human Affinity Platform S.L. (hereinafter, “Kymatio” or the “Company”) is responsible for designing, evaluating, and permanently reviewing the Company’s Policy System and general strategies.

This Corporate Policy on Development and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to establish Kymatio’s commitment to the responsible, transparent, secure, and reliable development and use of AI, aligning its practices with current regulations and corporate values, as well as with the highest standards of security and privacy.

The development and implementation of AI tools are essential elements for creating sustainable value, as well as for Kymatio’s strategy of innovation and digital transformation.

For this reason, Kymatio recognizes the importance of promoting responsible use of AI in line with values and principles based on ethics and commitment to sustainability.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Corporate Policy on Development and Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence, the following definitions shall apply:

  • Personal Data: Any information that identifies or makes an individual identifiable, either directly or indirectly. This includes obvious data such as name, identification number, email, phone number, as well as less visible data such as IP address, biometric data, images, voice, geolocation, or browsing habits.
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI): A branch of computer science dedicated to designing systems capable of performing tasks that traditionally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, natural language understanding, pattern recognition, learning from data, and decision-making.
  • AI Tool: Software, platform, or system that uses AI algorithms to perform specific functions such as language processing, data analysis, predictions, or content generation.
  • Inputs: Data, instructions, or content provided by the user to an AI tool for processing (e.g., text, images, code, voice).
  • Outputs: Results generated by the AI tool after processing inputs (e.g., text responses, summaries, predictions, images, automated decisions). Outputs must be critically evaluated by the user, as they may not always be correct, impartial, or ethically appropriate.
  • AI Tool Usage Procedures: Steps, guidelines, or protocols to ensure responsible, safe, transparent, and ethical AI use.
  • AI Regulation: Refers to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 of the European Parliament and Council of June 13, 2024, establishing harmonized rules on AI.

Scope and Regulatory Framework
