Instruction: I want a small section to be about my thoughts around achieving ROI. I truly think firms should start thinking about AI essentially being responsible for 10% of any revenue because I can't see a sitaution where company provided AI hasn't aided any proposal, presentation or analysis or even delivery of the final product. I find it shocking that execs sometimes don't want see this as something that's creating value.

Output:
### Proposed Addition: Thoughts on Achieving ROI

I suggest adding a new section titled **"Rethinking ROI in the Age of AI"**, placed under the **"Statistics: ROI From AI"** section. Here's the draft:

---

### Rethinking ROI in the Age of AI

AI is no longer just a tool; it’s a foundational part of how businesses operate and create value. I firmly believe that firms should start considering AI as directly responsible for at least 10% of their revenue. Whether it’s improving the quality of a proposal, streamlining delivery, or analyzing complex data for decision-making, AI is integrated into nearly every process.

It’s shocking that some executives fail to recognize the value AI creates in day-to-day operations. From enhancing client presentations to enabling cutting-edge analysis, AI’s role in delivering tangible results is undeniable. Companies that fail to attribute part of their ROI to AI risk undervaluing a critical driver of their success.

For BDO Canada, this means embedding AI into every aspect of our services and fostering an environment where its contributions are acknowledged and maximized.

---

Would you like me to integrate this directly into the document? Let me know!


Instruction: Do you think 10% is an accurate number given the power that generative ai offers today?

Output:
The 10% estimate seems like a reasonable baseline for organizations today, especially given the pervasive integration of AI in tasks like proposal writing, data analysis, customer presentations, and delivery. However, depending on the sector and the organization’s AI maturity, this number could be even higher for firms leveraging advanced AI tools effectively.

### Refining the 10% Estimate:
- **Why 10% is Reasonable**:
   - AI is already involved in tasks ranging from content generation (e.g., reports, pitches) to operational efficiencies (e.g., automated scheduling, data visualization).
   - Many proposals and presentations involve AI-enhanced research or communication tools, which directly impact the quality and success rate.

- **Potential to Exceed 10%**:
   - In high-tech industries or AI-forward organizations, AI's contribution to revenue generation could surpass 10%, particularly where predictive analytics, automation, or customer experience are directly tied to business outcomes.

Would you like me to incorporate a refined version of your thoughts into a dedicated section in the document? If so, I can emphasize how AI already underpins a significant portion of BDO’s operations and how this should inform ROI expectations. Let me know!


Instruction: Can you add coding to this narrative?

Output:
Here’s how we can integrate coding into your narrative about AI’s role in achieving ROI and automation, placing it logically within the document:

---

### **Adding Coding Context**
To illustrate the transformative potential of AI for ROI, include practical examples of AI-powered automation using coding methodologies. This addition highlights the technical depth behind AI’s business value.

**Placement Suggestion**: Add to the **Statistics: ROI From AI** section under **Cost Savings Through Automation**.

---

#### **Updated Section with Coding Context**
**Cost Savings Through Automation**

Investments in automation, including AI, have demonstrated tangible cost savings. A study by Bain & Company revealed that companies allocating at least 20% of their IT budget to automation reduced process costs by 17%, compared to a 7% reduction in companies investing less than 5%. ([Bain](https://www.bain.com/insights/automation-scorecard)) This underscores the financial benefits of committing to automation initiatives.

**Practical Application via Coding**:
For instance, Python-based AI frameworks like **RPA (Robotic Process Automation)** are enabling businesses to:
- Automate repetitive data entry using libraries such as **PyAutoGUI**.
- Generate financial summaries with **Pandas** and **NumPy**.
- Optimize customer interactions via chatbots built on frameworks like **Rasa** or **OpenAI API**.

These examples show how integrating AI at the coding level directly translates into cost efficiency and innovation.

Instruction: Did washington beat buffalo twice?

Output:
No, the **Washington Redskins** only beat the **Buffalo Bills** once in the Super Bowl. That victory occurred in **Super Bowl XXVI** on January 26, 1992, with Washington winning 37-24.

The Buffalo Bills appeared in four consecutive Super Bowls (XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII) during the early 1990s but lost all four. Each of their Super Bowl losses came against a different team:

1. **Super Bowl XXV (1991):** Lost to the New York Giants, 20-19.
2. **Super Bowl XXVI (1992):** Lost to the Washington Redskins, 37-24.
3. **Super Bowl XXVII (1993):** Lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 52-17.
4. **Super Bowl XXVIII (1994):** Lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 30-13.

Washington's single matchup against Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI was their only meeting in the championship game.


Instruction: wasn't a guy named Doug Johnson a qb for Washington?

Output:
It seems there might be some confusion with the name. **Doug Johnson** was not a quarterback for the Washington Redskins. Doug Johnson was a quarterback in the NFL, but he primarily played for the **Atlanta Falcons** and a few other teams in the early 2000s.

You might be thinking of **Doug Williams**, who was a quarterback for the Washington Redskins. Williams made history as the **first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl** when he led the Redskins to victory in **Super Bowl XXII** in 1988, defeating the Denver Broncos 42-10. Williams had an incredible performance, throwing for 340 yards and four touchdowns, all in the second quarter, setting multiple Super Bowl records.

So, while Doug Williams is a legendary figure in Washington Redskins history, **Doug Johnson** was not associated with the team.

As the National Leader on AI for BDO Canada, I need to develop a briefing note for our leadership and the technology arm of our firm. I want to incorporate this description:
Overview of DeepSeek's Impact on the Market:

Since its launch, DeepSeek has significantly influenced the AI market by introducing advanced, cost-effective AI models that challenge the established giants like OpenAI and Microsoft's Copilot. Here's how:

Cost Efficiency: DeepSeek has managed to produce models like DeepSeek-V3 and R1 with remarkably lower training costs, around $5.6 million for V3, which contrasts with the billions often cited for similar efforts by competitors. This efficiency is achieved through innovative techniques like using less powerful, more accessible hardware (Nvidia H800 GPUs) and optimizing training processes such as Mixture-of-Experts and multi-head latent attention.

Performance and Accessibility: DeepSeek’s models have been noted for matching or surpassing the performance of leading proprietary models in several benchmarks, particularly in coding and reasoning tasks. Their open-source nature allows for widespread accessibility, lowering the barriers for developers and businesses to leverage advanced AI capabilities without the high costs associated with proprietary solutions.

Market Disruption: The launch of DeepSeek has led to a significant market reaction, with stocks in major tech companies like Nvidia dropping due to concerns over the viability of high-cost AI development models. This has been particularly evident following DeepSeek’s claim of matching OpenAI's o1 model's performance at a fraction of the cost.

Challenges to OpenAI and Microsoft's Copilot:

Pricing Pressure: DeepSeek’s drastically lower pricing for API usage (e.g., $0.55 per million input tokens for DeepSeek-R1 compared to $15 for OpenAI's o1) has forced competitors to re-evaluate their pricing strategies. This disrupts the market by making high-quality AI more accessible, potentially reducing the profitability of established, for-profit models like those from OpenAI and Microsoft.

Open-Source vs. Proprietary: DeepSeek advocates for an open-source model, which fundamentally challenges the business model of proprietary AI solutions. By offering its models openly, DeepSeek fosters community-driven innovation, potentially leading to faster advancements and broader adoption. This approach contrasts with the closed ecosystems of OpenAI and Microsoft, where control over AI models can limit community contributions and increase costs for users.

Innovation and Resource Allocation: DeepSeek's success with constrained resources highlights that innovation can stem from optimization rather than just from massive resource allocation. This might prompt a shift in how companies like OpenAI and Microsoft approach AI development, potentially moving towards more efficient, less resource-intensive strategies.

Geopolitical and Regulatory Considerations: DeepSeek's rise also brings geopolitical dynamics into play, especially given the US-China tech rivalry. Its ability to achieve high performance with less restricted hardware could influence how export controls and tech policies are designed. For OpenAI and Microsoft, this necessitates navigating not just technological but also political landscapes, potentially impacting their market strategies.

Conclusion:

DeepSeek has introduced a paradigm shift in AI development by proving that high-performance AI can be both cost-effective and accessible through open-source means. This has not only disrupted the market but also posed a direct challenge to the business models of for-profit AI ventures like OpenAI and Microsoft’s Copilot. As DeepSeek continues to evolve, it could redefine how AI services are developed, priced, and consumed, pushing competitors to innovate or adapt to remain competitive in an increasingly open and cost-conscious market.
