SenkenAI · Senken

Overview

SenkenAI is the artificial intelligence environment through which Senken delivers its advisory engagements. It supports analysis, drafting, retrieval and synthesis under the direction of named Senken personnel. It is not a substitute for professional judgement and does not produce final client deliverables autonomously.

This page sets out the principles on which SenkenAI operates and the protections it provides to client information. It is referenced from Senken’s engagement agreements and is maintained as a current statement of how the environment works.

Operating principles

SenkenAI operates within four binding principles, which together define the standard against which it is configured, reviewed, and used.

Commercial-tier infrastructure. SenkenAI runs on enterprise-grade infrastructure operating under commercial terms, not consumer or publicly available artificial intelligence services. The underlying platform contractually prohibits the use of submitted information to train or improve any artificial intelligence model.
Confidentiality. The platform contractually guarantees the confidentiality of information submitted to it. Information is not used to train models, is not shared with other customers of the platform, and is held under data protection terms appropriate to enterprise use.
Access control. SenkenAI is accessible only to named Senken personnel who require it in the course of their work. Access is logged, reviewed periodically, and removed promptly when no longer required.
Outside public and consumer AI. SenkenAI operates outside any publicly accessible or consumer-facing artificial intelligence service. Client information is not entered into public AI tools at any stage of engagement delivery.

How SenkenAI is used

SenkenAI supports the day-to-day delivery of Senken engagements. Typical uses include synthesising research, analysing documents shared by clients, drafting reports and briefings, and supporting the development of strategic recommendations.

All client-facing outputs are reviewed, edited and approved by named Senken personnel before being shared with the client. Where artificial intelligence has materially shaped an analysis or recommendation, that fact is disclosed in the work.

Client information

Information processed within SenkenAI remains the property of the client to whom it relates. Senken does not use client information for any purpose other than the engagement to which it relates. Specifically:

Client information is not used to train any artificial intelligence model.
Client information is not shared between client engagements.
Client information is not used for Senken’s own marketing, research or product development without the client’s prior written consent.
Each client’s information is held in a logically separated working environment, accessible only to personnel assigned to that engagement.

Where a client has identified categories of information requiring particular handling — for example, confidential information relating to that client’s own clients — those constraints apply within SenkenAI in addition to the principles above.

Senken’s standard engagement terms include a specific consent mechanism for the processing of client confidential information within SenkenAI. Consent is sought before substantive engagement work begins, may be qualified or restricted to particular categories of information, and may be withdrawn on reasonable notice. If consent is not given or is withdrawn, Senken’s delivery proceeds without the use of SenkenAI.

Updates

This page is maintained as a current statement of how SenkenAI operates. Material changes are versioned and dated below. The principles above are commitments to clients with active engagement agreements and are not weakened in the period of any such agreement without that client’s express written consent.

Foresight requires more than capability. It requires that the use of capability is principled, disclosed, and earned.
