The firm

The guardian who governs.

The name joins two Greek words: phýlax, the guardian, and árchon, the one who governs. In Plato’s Republic, the guardians are those who watch over the city and answer for it.

That is the task Phylarkon takes on with regard to artificial intelligence: that a company uses it in an orderly way, aware of its obligations and able to demonstrate that it meets them.

Grounding

Every recommendation is tied to the provision that requires it. Nothing is proposed without its legal basis.

Proportionality

Measures are scaled to the actual risk of each system and to the size of the company.

Evidence

Compliance is documented so that it can be demonstrated to a client, an investor or an authority.

Confidentiality

Client information is treated in confidence and used solely for the engagement.

The use of artificial intelligence at Phylarkon

Phylarkon uses artificial intelligence tools to support research and drafting. Every deliverable is reviewed and validated by a person, who is accountable for its content.

Confidential client information is not entered into tools that lack contractual guarantees of confidentiality and of non-use for model training.
