Responsible AI
Last updated 20 June 2026
Inventico builds AI software for the intellectual property industry. Because our tools support high-stakes professional work, we hold ourselves to a clear standard for how that AI is designed, deployed and used. This policy sets out our commitments, and it is aligned with Australia's AI Ethics Principles.
A human stays in the loop
Our products assist qualified professionals. They do not replace them. Every output our software produces is a draft or a recommendation to be reviewed, not a final decision made on its own.
A competent person remains responsible for checking, approving and acting on what the AI produces. We design our tools so that this oversight is part of the workflow, not an afterthought.
The principles we work to
We align our work with Australia's eight AI Ethics Principles. In practice that means:
- Wellbeing. Our AI should benefit the people and organisations that use it, and the wider profession.
- Human-centred values. We respect the rights, dignity and autonomy of the people our systems affect.
- Fairness. We work to avoid unfair bias and to treat users and their clients equitably.
- Privacy and security. We protect personal and confidential information, and design for security from the start.
- Reliability and safety. Our systems should do what we say they do, and fail safely when they reach their limits.
- Transparency and explainability. We are clear about when AI is used and what it is doing.
- Contestability. People can question, challenge and override the output of our AI.
- Accountability. Humans remain accountable for outcomes, and we take responsibility for the systems we build.
Privacy and confidentiality by design
Intellectual property is among the most sensitive information an organisation holds, and we treat it that way.
Where confidentiality demands it, we deploy AI that runs entirely on infrastructure our clients control, so that sensitive material never leaves their environment. We do not use client or matter data to train third-party models without clear, informed consent.
Accuracy, verification and limitations
AI can be wrong, and we never pretend otherwise. We build checking and verification into our tools, and we are honest about what they can and cannot do.
Our software does not provide legal advice. Its output is a starting point for a qualified professional, who applies their own judgement before anything is relied upon or filed.
Transparency
We are open about where AI is used in our products and, where relevant, which models sit behind them. We would rather under-claim than overstate what our technology does.
Accountability, and how to reach us
If you have a question or concern about how our AI behaves, or you believe an output is wrong or unfair, we want to hear about it. Contact us at info@inventico.io and a person will respond.
Keeping this current
AI moves quickly, and so does the guidance around it. We review this policy as the technology, the law and best practice evolve.
