In August 2024, Casio published a formal policy governing how the company uses, researches, and develops AI across all of its products and business units, including G-Shock. The policy is overseen by a dedicated AI Governance Committee led by a senior executive. It sets out rules around safety, fairness, privacy, and transparency in all of Casio's AI activities.
Details
The policy establishes five core principles that all Casio AI activities must follow: safety and security, fairness (including the elimination of discrimination and bias in AI outputs), compliance and privacy protection, transparency and accountability, and human-AI coexistence — meaning humans remain responsible for consequential decisions. The policy applies to all employees of the Casio Group globally. Casio has not published details about how violations are handled, disclosed any enforcement actions, or reported AI-related incidents under this framework. The policy is listed in Casio's Sustainability Report 2025 under the Governance section alongside corporate compliance and risk management disclosures.

Other practices by Casio
OtherIn 2025, Casio launched Moflin, a $429 robotic companion animal powered by what the company calls Emotional AI. The device learns from its interactions with its owner over time to develop a unique personality, and is marketed as a mental wellness product. All of Moflin's data processing happens on the device itself — nothing is sent to the cloud or stored by Casio.OtherCasio's Yamagata factory in Japan — where premium G-Shock watches are made — uses extensive robotic automation and a sensor-based system to detect potential equipment failures before they happen. Since 2018, one production line has been almost entirely automated, cutting production costs by 50%, according to third-party reporting. The facility also uses automated image inspection to check for assembly defects without human involvement.OtherIn April 2025, Casio created a dedicated department specifically focused on AI technology development, as part of a broader reorganization of its research and development operations. By July 2025, this unit was elevated to report directly to Casio's top management — a structural signal that AI development is now a core strategic priority for the company, which would affect all product lines including G-Shock.
