Putting generative AI in the hands of all KPMG partners and professionals

“As our industry is experiencing a watershed moment, we are accelerating AI-powered solutions across our firm,” said Will Williams, KPMG U.S. Vice Chair of Operations. “Over the past decade, KPMG has developed robust responsible AI and security frameworks that we’re now applying to our own operations, allowing us to move quickly while ensuring we protect our firm and our clients. KPMG is rapidly introducing generative AI solutions that allow our professionals to make smarter, faster business decisions and create real-time value for our clients.”

“We are dedicated to empowering our clients to embark on AI-driven transformations and responsibly unlock the potential of generative AI,” said Carl Carande, KPMG U.S. Vice Chair of Advisory and Global Head of Advisory. “Our approach fosters unprecedented agility and scalability, enabling organizations to establish innovative business models, gain a competitive edge, and create significant economic value.”
