Innovation and AI

Transforming how we work by putting innovation in the hands of our people.

Growth Through Innovation

At BDO, innovation is how we grow the capacity of our people. By equipping our professionals with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, we amplify their expertise and judgment, enhancing the ways we help clients achieve what matters most. 

By fostering curiosity, encouraging collaboration and enabling our professionals to explore new possibilities, we cultivate an environment where ideas can come from anyone, anywhere across BDO.

AI Transformation Starts with People 

Most firms treat AI as a technology purchase. We treat it as a people transformation. 

We take a guided grassroots approach to AI adoption. We recognize that the people closest to the work are often best positioned to identify where AI can create the most value in their day-to-day. BDO equips our professionals with the tools, training and support to develop practical AI solutions that streamline workflows, enhance productivity and elevate collaboration, while leadership provides governance, oversight and strategic direction. 

The most successful use cases are then scaled across teams and practices, continuously enhancing how work gets done across the firm. With tested AI solutions in their toolkit, our professionals can work more strategically to better serve our clients. 

As AI transforms service delivery within our profession, we remain committed to transparency, privacy, compliance and ethics in AI usage. Even as AI capabilities expand, BDO keeps human review and professional judgment at the center of its processes. AI does not make judgments or reach conclusions; a BDO professional stands behind every engagement and every deliverable. 

This is reinforced by our Responsible AI Policy, which governs how AI is used responsibly across BDO.

BDO’s Responsible AI Policy

BDO aims to foster trust and confidence among its stakeholders, safeguard security, and contribute to the positive impact of AI on its personnel, clients and communities.  

BDO has adopted a Responsible AI Policy comprised of seven Responsible AI Principles aimed at emphasizing the ethical, governance and security safeguards that are vital for BDO to manage the risks and capture the benefits associated with the design and application of AI technologies.
