Our Story & Mission

BAIC was founded to help businesses cut through the confusion of AI. Too many solutions are expensive, complex, or don't deliver real results. Our story began with the belief that AI should be practical, ethical, and human-first — ensuring it works for your business, not the other way around.

Our mission is simple: to empower organisations to adopt AI confidently, responsibly, and effectively. We do this by simplifying complexity, removing risks through compliance and governance, and turning strategy into measurable outcomes.

What Makes Engaging BAIC The Best Decision To Futureproof Your Organisation

ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Is Our Foundation

We use this international AI management standard as the backbone of our approach, ensuring everything we do aligns with global best practices.

Support For Accreditation Pathways

If our delivery partner wants to pursue accreditation, we can prepare the business for ISO/IEC 42001:2023. In the meantime, we can also support ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) where relevant.

Tailored AI Strategy And Governance

We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We work with our clients to design and implement AI strategies, governance frameworks, and operational models that fit their business scale and needs.

Flexible, Business-Driven Collaboration

We don’t dictate what a business needs or when it needs it. Instead, we collaborate to find the best solutions and timeframes that work for our delivery partner.

Deep Expertise and Strong Partnerships

We bring the right knowledge, skills, and access to external infrastructure and service partners to support our delivery partner’s fit-for-purpose digital strategy and AI implementation.

A People-First Approach

AI transformation isn’t just about technology—it’s about people. We ensure staff education, operational change, and governance are well-structured, measurable, fair and empathetic.

Agile And Adaptable Execution

We’re nimble and can pivot as needed. Our incentivised sandbox testing model ensures we refine solutions before full-scale implementation, reducing risk and improving outcomes.

Success measured by real impact

We focus on helping our delivery partners build on their existing successes and deliver effective AI-driven solutions. Our ultimate goal is to be trusted advisors in operational excellence.

Our Core Values

Value-Driven Partnership

We employ a “making a dollar to save a dollar” approach to demonstrate value to our client partners.

Continuous Learning & Expertise

Todd, Craig, and Andeed share a passion for AI and continuous learning. They hold professional qualifications from the world’s top institutions that none of our competitors have, ensuring our partners benefit from the latest advancements in the field.

Proven Industry Experience

We have decades of experience in the property, construction, and technology industries. Craig, Todd, and Andeed also hold key roles in national and international not-for-profit organisations that shape AI best practice standards in Aotearoa and Singapore.

Community Commitment

We give back to the communities our delivery partners work and live in and collaborate to choose mutually important beneficiaries in whatever form that takes, be it sponsorship and/or time contribution in kind.
