BMC Signs Pact Supporting Responsible AI Use

New EU AI pact invites global leaders to pledge commitment to AI governance, awareness, and literacy

HOUSTON - 17 March, 2025 – BMC, a global leader in software solutions enabling business faster than humanly possible, has signed the voluntary pledges of the European Commission’s EU artificial intelligence (AI) Pact. The company’s participation reaffirms BMC’s commitment to fostering best practices for AI across Europe by building strong foundations for reliable, accurate, and ethical AI use.

The EU AI Act helps organizations prepare their internal systems and strategies for the future of AI. The voluntary pledges of the EU AI act call on participating companies to commit to at least three core actions:

  • Adopting an AI governance strategy to foster the uptake of AI in the organization and work towards future compliance with the AI Act
  • Identifying and mapping AI systems likely to be categorized as high-risk under the AI Act
  • Promoting AI awareness and literacy among staff, ensuring ethical and responsible AI development

BMC has already introduced several internal processes toward this end for AI governance and in support of the development of employees’ skills and knowledge of AI tools:

  • AI generalist curriculum: available for all employees
  • AI Knowledge Hub: accessible to all employees through the company’s intranet
  • Regular newsletters and communications on AI acceleration at BMC
  • Three online workshops for AI developers, AI champions, and leadership
  • BMC GenAI Use Policy is now incorporated as a BMC Corporate Policy
  • Ad-hoc training delivered by key stakeholders, including ops, research & development, privacy office, intellectual property counsel, etc.
  • AI governance councils for each business unit: consideration of AI use technologies in accordance with the BMC GenAI Use Policy

BMC plans to include midway reviews with key BMC stakeholders to ensure progress continues at its rapid rate and will be reporting on progress to the EU Commission in January 2026.

“The pledge is the first major step for the big AI players to showcase their commitment to producing a safe and accurate tool for years to come,” said Elodie Dowling, vice president and general counsel for EMEA at BMC. “It is easy to forget that AI is in its early stages and organizations are still learning how it can facilitate mass improvements. This is why the AI Pact will help organizations of all sizes to propel AI to the future, where everyone can maximize all of AI’s game-changing capabilities.”
