AI Innovation Principles
Since our inception in 2003, Docusign has been working to accelerate business and simplify life for companies and people around the world. eSignature was our first step in helping businesses and individuals automate how they manage agreements and redefine how the world comes together to agree. Since then, we’ve expanded our capabilities to help people create smarter, easier and trusted agreements. This mission is driven by a culture of continuous innovation based on values that foster responsible use of technology.
Trust is at the core of our business and woven into everything we do. Our customers trust Docusign’s secure products to manage the billions of mission-critical agreements they need to run their business every day. We value the trust placed in us and we will continue to prioritize privacy, security, data protection and risk management in our approach to AI. We are committed to taking this further and will operate with integrity and empathy to develop solutions that drive value for our customers and our world.
As Docusign empowers our customers and users with new AI-powered services, we will continue to develop our technology based on principled AI innovation. Our AI Innovation Principles below outline the values that guide our approach to building services and using tools powered by this emerging technology.
With a commitment to trust, accuracy, transparency, fairness and value creation, we believe that the benefits of AI technology should be accessible to everyone.
