AI Initiatives

Basic approach and policies

Murata upholds the management philosophy (Murata Philosophy) of "We contribute to the advancement of society by enhancing technologies and skills, applying scientific approach, creating innovative products and solutions, being trustworthy, and, together with all our stakeholders, thankful for the increase in prosperity." Through the implementation of Murata Philosophy, we aim to maximize the potential of AI and, through collaboration with our stakeholders, create new value that contributes to building a sustainable society.

AI has the potential to drive efficiency and quality improvements across entire business processes, support strategic and well‑informed decision‑making, foster sustainable value creation, and at the same time enhance customer satisfaction, employee engagement, and contributions to society.
However, failure to comply with applicable laws and internal regulations, protect intellectual property rights and privacy, and appropriately manage confidential information carries the risk of harming corporate activities and eroding trust with society through compliance violations, rights infringements, and information leaks.
