AI has moved fast – from experimentation to a core business capability.

For many New Zealand SMEs, the question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to 'step beyond the hype', and find practical ways to adopt it safely, responsibly and in a way that delivers real value...ideally presenting a competitive advantage.

In this article, Josh Ambler, BDO Digital National Leader, outlines the steps SME business leaders can take to balance innovation with trust, governance and control, and outlines practical starting points to consider:

- Set clear AI acceptable-use and confidentiality ground rules.
- Define and standardise your core processes before automation.
- Establish AI governance and AI risk management - ownership, oversight and controls.
- Strengthen data governance so your AI outputs are based on trustworthy inputs.
- Focus on use cases that solve real pain points (and measure impact).
