【2020 Application Example】 The Lawsnote compliance system uses AI technology to automate the compliance risk assessment (CRA) process and improve the compliance efficiency of companies

Trends in financial regulation

As the world pays greater attention to regulatory supervision, various fields are facing increasing compliance costs. If we were to ask what was the fastest growing field in 2020? I believe many people will think it is regulation!

The trend of strict supervision has been the most severe in the financial industry. Supervisory agencies In Taiwan, including the Financial Supervisory Commission, have imposed growingly strict supervision requirements on the financial industry, as well as heavier fines. In response to these supervisory measures, the financial industry gradually implemented new internal control and internal audit systems for compliance a few years ago, such as the assessment of regulatory risks, business units appointing compliance managers as the first line of defense, and compliance self-assessment system.

Current manual compliance process of compliance personnel

However, there is a plethora of financial-related laws and regulations, and business units have a large number of complex business manuals. Therefore, many compliance personnel of financial institutions must spend a lot of time on tedious and highly repetitive comparisons of internal and external regulations, in order to help companies avoid risks or fines due to not proposing response measures in their internal regulations when laws are amended.

Lawsnote Compliance System Solution

As Taiwan's leading legal technology solutions provider, Lawsnote received many requests from corporate customers for a compliance system, and began to look into solutions for applying AI to compliance systems. It thus developed the Lawsnote RegTech compliance system for compliance personnel to automate parts of their work process, reducing the tedious and repetitive work of compliance personnel.

A Regulatory database, search, and notification of regulatory changes

As the basis of the RegTech system, the compliance process is triggered by "regulations", so it is necessary to have a "complete" and "real-time" regulatory database and regulatory update mechanism for specific fields.

However, regulations are not limited to "laws" enacted by the Legislative Yuan, but also include "administrative rules" and "legal orders" enacted by administrative agencies authorized by law, as well as "administrative interpretations" used to interpret regulations. These are all considered regulations that the compliance system must comply with.

There is currently no unified data source for these regulatory data. Except for the Laws & Regulations Database of the Republic of China (Taiwan), many regulations are scattered on independent webpages for regulations on the websites of different agencies, organizations, or associations, making the cost of collecting complete regulations very high.

Since laws and regulations will be amended, new administrative letters and interpretations will be issued or old ones abolished, updating regulatory changes is also a big problem. Even if complete laws and regulations are collected once, failure to continuously monitor changes in laws, regulations, and administrative letters and interpretations will also create a gap in compliance.

As a professional legal search engine, Lawsnote has a complete database of regulations and interpretations, and can send notices of regulatory changes required by various fields in response to the needs of compliance systems.

B1. Internal regulations database and search

Internal management by companies through regulations are called "internal regulations." General types of internal regulations include company internal regulations, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and business instruction manuals. Depending on the intensity of industry-specific supervision, the number and density of company internal regulations will vary depending on the industry.

In industries with high supervisory density, the number of internal regulations sometimes reaches thousands or even tens of thousands. With such a huge number of internal regulations, paper or simple filing systems can no longer meet the internal needs of enterprises. The process of searching for and complying with internal regulations might require a significant amount of time and personnel costs if an internal regulations database and search engine are not establish.

Lawsnote has Taiwan's most powerful legal information search engine, patent search technology, and uses AI to optimize its sorting algorithm. It can establish an "internal regulations database"for internal data, such as company internal regulations, SOPs, and instruction manuals, and applies search engine technology to the internal regulations database, achieving a fast, complete, and easy-to-use internal regulations database and search engine.

B2. <Regulations – Internal Regulations> Article-to-Article Linking Mechanism

When regulations are revised, the company's internal regulations must also be inspected and adjusted accordingly.

The company's internal regulation inspection procedures may be initiated by compliance personnel based on regulatory amendments, or may be initiated by the compliance officer of the business unit (the first line of defense), and then reviewed by compliance personnel (the second line of defense). However, regardless of which unit initiates it, the difficulty lies in finding the article of internal regulations that correspond to the amended article of the law to determine whether amendments are necessary.

Due to the large number of internal regulations, complicated terms, and the different forms of business involved, if internal regulations must be reviewed every time laws and regulations are revised, it will consume a huge amount of time. Therefore, compliance personnel usually rely heavily on experience and aim to minimize risk within limited time.

Moreover, due to the way internal regulations are written, often using different methods to significantly rewrite and break down laws and regulations, making comparison very difficult for programs. If the existing program is used to compare internal and external regulations, many internal regulations cannot be effectively determined.

After research and testing, Lawsnote designed 3 AI algorithms and 4 rule-base algorithms for cross-comparison, which can establish article-to-article links between thousands of regulations and company internal regulations, helping compliance personnel to immediately determine the necessity of revisions to internal regulations when regulations are revised, significantly saving review time and reducing compliance and internal control risks.

C. Internal control and internal audit self-assessment process for compliance

In order to ensure that the compliance officer of business units properly carry out the compliance process, some companies will implement mechanisms such as compliance self-assessment and compliance education, and require the compliance officer of business units to conduct self-assessment of internal control and internal audit processes and review existing risks.

Compliance personnel or auditors must summarize self-assessment results, or prepare a risk matrix to monitor compliance risks and track vulnerabilities.

The Lawsnote RegTech compliance system supports expanded workflow solutions, which can extend the workflow to the compliance self-assessment process, customize the integration of the current system and compliance system, and merge the organizational structure and SSO permission control mechanism to create a one-stop compliance system.

AI Assists the Red Cross for Smarter Emergency Response

More Preparation Less Loss The Taiwan Food Bank Association, a non-profit organization, collects donations daily from wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers, and even kind-hearted individuals across Taiwan They also rescue consumable materials that are about to be discarded, properly allocate and deliver to households in need, aiding local underprivileged populations When natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, mudslides, typhoons, floods, and droughts occur in Taiwan, the food bank's resources can be immediately deployed for disaster relief This field verification unit is the Nantou County Red Cross AssociationOne of the food bank locations, hereinafter referred to as the Nantou Red CrossIs responsible for tasks like pre-disaster supplies preparation and disaster relief material distribution, helping the government bear the responsibility of disaster relief and aid In Taiwan, various natural disasters have characteristics of different duration and spatial coverage, wide or narrow With the normalization of extreme weather, the scale and number of disasters are gradually increasing and becoming harder to predict The required amount and type of materials differ by disaster, and they must address the lifestyles of the affected areas, rescue needs, traffic conditions, geographical restrictions, and other factors for varied material allocation, facing numerous challenges Typhoon Kanu severely damaged transportation in Nantou mountain areas Nantou County Red Cross planned the mountainous route Puli gt Fazhi Elementary School gt Qin'ai Village gt Aowanda to deliver supplies Disasters happen repeatedly We need to be prepared at all times Effective disaster preparedness can mitigate the impact, including swift response to material needs in affected areas, aid distribution, and even psychological support, providing added security for life and property of those in disaster zones Lack of Timeliness in Disaster Information To improve the living conditions and address the lack of supplies in remote areas, the Taiwan Food Bank Association has partnered with the Nantou Red Cross and has successively established food bank points in Nantou City, Puli, and Ren'aiLixing, Ruiyan, XinyiWangmei, Tongfu, Shuili, Lugu and Caotun among others9establish food bank locations, providing supplies worth a certain amount per household every month6001000in New Taiwan Dollars However, many challenges still need to be overcome during natural disasters For example, when typhoons, earthquakes, and landslides occur, the information source for disaster relief dispatch systems relies on post-disaster reports The time lag between reporting, response, and execution prevents timely adjustment and distribution of 'disaster relief' supplies based on the needs of affected areas, affecting rescue efficiency due to lack of timely information The 'preparedness' supplies of the Nantou Red Crosssuch as dry food, water, instant noodles, etc,are recorded manually in terms of stock, expiration dates, and distribution,When a disaster occurs, there is a chance that 'preparedness' supplies have expired and cannot become 'disaster relief' supplies It’s also possible that both conditions mentioned above occur simultaneously, leading to a need for more time to reassign 'preparedness' supplies into usable 'disaster relief' materials On the other hand, upon receiving information about shortages in disaster areas, the supplies donated by the public often grossly differ from the actual needs of the disaster zone, leading to an excess of supplies The Process of Material Operations Before and After a Natural Disaster AIAnticipating Natural Disasters Reinforcing the Accuracy of Preparedness Material Dispatch Application API Technology connects to compute the state of the climate, the intensity of disaster rescues, prioritizing the main tasks of the Nantou Red Cross and the needed areas of search and rescue Coordinated with the existing heavy rain and typhoon simulation disaster training of the Nantou Red Cross, a 'Natural Disaster Emergency Preparedness Material Dispatch and Supplement Decision System' is establishedreferred to as the Emergency Preparedness Material System。 In material management, inventory data along with immediate supply data are entered into the Emergency Preparedness Material System for comparison and analysis, helping the Nantou Red Cross quickly recognize materials like cookiesdry food, beverages, frozen food, toilet paper, etc, and determining whether they should be 'preparedness' materials or regularly distributed materials Adding to this, information forecasting understands the potential disaster conditions in remote areas, facilitating food delivery, addressing both front-end food wastage and backend practical needs When a natural disaster occurs, it enables faster response and decision-making, completing material deployment, hence increasing the speed of material operation transition20。 AI Emergency Preparedness Material System Helps Rapidly Adapt Material Distribution Through the field verification of the Nantou Red CrossAIthe system, material management, and related applications are promoted to more emergency response organizations in different areas, while continuously improving the alert functions within the Emergency Preparedness Material System, strengthening the technological foundation for alerts, enhancing prediction accuracySystem immediacy, and optimizing the data collection and analysis process Simultaneously, it can collaborate with government agencies, meteorological departments, or other rescue teams to discuss integrating more data sources, establishing a mechanism to share resources and data promptly, sharing information in real-time, helping more emergency response organizations enhance their disaster response abilities, seizing the golden rescue time 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation

【導入案例】赫銳特科技VCSEL封裝元件瑕疵導入AOI檢測 提升產能效率20
HRT Technology Improves Production Efficiency by 20% Through AOI Detection of Defects in VCSEL Packaging

In 2017, the launch of the iPhone X made 3D sensor technology used in Face ID highly popular, which drove the development of VCSEL, a core component in the 3D sensor module In the detection of defects in incoming packaged VCSEL, the use of AI inference models can solve the industry's issue with low yield and improve reliability to 95 VCSEL technology currently can be used in many applications and various end consumer markets, including robots, mobile devices, surveillance, drones, and ARVR VCSELs are a good solution in applications that require high-speed modulation capabilities, such as cameras and biometrics VCSEL technology has a wide range ofnbsp applications, including in drones Pictured Zoyi Technology's Agricultural Drone VCSEL technology has a wide range of applications, AI technology assists in defect detection HRT Technology stated that the packaged VCSEL market is also facing strong price competition from competitors, and needs to further reduce costs and enhance product competitiveness One of the key problems is the replacement of glass lens with epoxy resin lens The production of traditional glass lenses has high yield, but the cost is higher than that of epoxy resin lenses Due to the cutting process of epoxy resin, the side wall of cutting lines can easily have rough edges, causing it to be oversized The release of stress caused by heat during the mounting process will directly cause the optical lens to break HRT Technology pointed out that the incoming inspection of VCSEL epoxy resin lenses is very important Under the constraints of packaging space, the space for fitting the package and optical lens is limited Moreover, the optical lenses will be confined to a metal frame If the dimensional tolerances are properly controlled, stress release due to heat during mounting can easily cause the optical lens to break, resulting in a yield loss of up to 10 in the VCSEL package reliability verification, resulting in an increase in production costs In order to solve the problems above, HRT Technology hopes to use AI to monitor the size and appearance defects of epoxy resin components in the VCSEL epoxy resin lens incoming stage, verifying whether their dimensions meet specifications, whether the cutting edges are smooth, and whether there are any defects in their appearance Since traditional incoming material inspection requires a rough visual inspection by humans to distinguish the quality The problem of image collection needs to be solved first to successfully collect image data Therefore, HRT Technology first developed an Automated Optical Inspection AOI device, which includes X, Y, Z three-axis motion, high-resolution cameras, and related control software to automatically record images After collecting the image data, opencv aligns the test image and a normal image to determine differences between the two images, and then pixel mapping is used to compare the pixel area to complete initial screening Manual labeling is carried out according to the image classification above, including samples that are normal, have defects in appearance, or have different shape characteristics, and then algorithm training and verification is carried out Residual neural network ResNet or other related algorithms are used for deep learning to identify the quality of lenses Implementation of AOI inspection improves production efficiency by 20 and above Comparing the differences before and after the implementation of AI image inspection, the incoming VCSEL lens inspection before implementation only involved manual inspection of the appearance The lens is packaged on the VCSEL package that has completed die bonding After passing the general light up test, the final reliability test high temperature reflow is performed Failed samples go into the rework process However, after the implementation of AOI inspection, it can screen defective lenses sooner and reduce the cost of subsequent materials input, it can also reduce the need for rework due to failure, improving yield to 95 and above in the reliability verification This is expected to help companies reduce production costs by 10 and increase production efficiency by 20 and above The difference before and after implementing AI image detection HRT Technology pointed out that this technology is an AI application developed based on tiny images It uses deep learning algorithms to identify defects in the images The trained network automatically classifies image data to predetermined categories Defect categories can be determined through reference images, so cumbersome programming is not required In the industrial machine vision environment, deep learning is mainly used for classification tasks in applications, such as inspection of industrial products or identification of parts In the future, with the development of IoT wearable devices and the trend of energy saving, the size of optoelectronic components will continue to shrink This technology can be applied to the detection of defects in the appearance of other tiny optoelectronic components in the future
