Retriva Showcases 'KOKOROE' at GENIAC-PRIZE Caravan

Retriva Inc., based in Toshima, Tokyo, is set to unveil its web application 'KOKOROE' at the GENIAC-PRIZE Caravan, scheduled for April 14, 2026, at the Shibuya Stream Hall in Tokyo. This initiative is a part of the NEDO prize-utilizing program aimed at enhancing the safety of large language models (LLMs).

About KOKOROE

As a collaborative development with its group company Manyo Inc., KOKOROE is designed to diagnose and improve the responses of LLMs. This web application allows users to provide simple guidelines that help ensure LLMs can be safely utilized according to specific purposes.

In recent years, the integration of generative AI has surged in various sectors due to its potential to enhance business efficiency and productivity. However, the safety of LLM outputs cannot be taken for granted. Responses that might encourage criminal activities or promote dangerous procedures in manufacturing, as well as misjudgments regarding pharmaceutical efficacy, pose unique industry-specific risks.

KOKOROE addresses these vulnerabilities by automating the diagnostic and enhancement processes based on user-defined guidelines, ensuring compliance with safety protocols across different sectors.

Background of Participation

Retriva prioritizes the secure and effective utilization of LLMs in enterprise operations, emphasizing both usefulness and safety in its research and development efforts. This dedication led the company to participate in the GENIAC PRIZE by developing technologies aimed at exploring and mitigating risks inherent in generative AI. The company aims to enhance the discourse surrounding AI safety while contributing to the overall improvement of safety standards across society.

GENIAC-PRIZE Caravan Details

The GENIAC-PRIZE, governed by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), is a contest designed to accelerate the societal implementation of generative AI.
