Generative AI for US federal agencies

Apply emerging AI to solve mission challenges.

A new era of AI

Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are poised to transform federal enterprises and missions by enabling natural, user-focused interactions with agency-specific data.

Now is a tipping point. As it entered mainstream usage, AI was primarily used to answer questions. Today, AI can be your partner in creation. Generative AI offers powerful new ways to converse, synthesize, and generate realistic text and multimedia content.

According to Accenture research, up to 40% of all working hours will soon be supported or augmented by language-based AI. For public sector organizations, 39% of working hours have a higher potential for automation or augmentation.

Generative AI will empower federal agencies to increase efficiency, improve stakeholder experiences, and better address mission challenges. What can it do for your agency?

Federal use cases

Agencies can use generative AI to support diverse mission needs including:

Intelligence synthesis & discovery

Quickly derive information from large amounts of text data, presenting pathways for analyst insights

Assistive coding & vulnerability research

Enable more efficient programming by providing code scaffolding and generating comments, documentation, and unit tests

Conversational services & customer communications

Create real-time customer response communications for help desks and citizen services

Knowledge management & enterprise data transformation

Enable conversational interaction with enterprise data

Content generation & design inspiration

Generate content in a specific style, or mock concept and prototype design examples

Our services

Accenture Federal Services Applied Intelligence brings the latest advances in generative AI to the federal space. Balancing innovation with safety, security, and risk management, we support agencies from strategic assessments through the development and deployment of scalable generative AI applications.

We have experience operationalizing generative AI for mission impact. Our 750+ data scientists, engineers, and AI/ML SMEs apply emerging technologies to federal use cases in complex environments.

We deliver:

  • Enterprise strategies to unlock value and insights in legacy data
  • People-first user experiences
  • Cloud and on-prem solutions to fit mission needs
  • Federal-specific generative AI offerings, including FedGPT, our solution for generative AI models tailored to federal requirements

Trust at the core

Learn more from Generative AI Lead Mike Thieme on the top five focus areas for federal generative AI.

Generative AI brings new challenges to government agencies, including risks of data leakage, adversarial use of generative tools, and potentially incorrect outputs from trained models.

Our approach to mitigating risks in generative AI for federal agencies is rooted in five core principles:

  • Trustworthy: Safe, honest, and diverse in perspectives
  • Reliable: Designed to enhance judgement and decision-making
  • Understandable: Interpretable and transparent in decision-making
  • Secure: Prioritizing privacy and the security of agency data
  • Teachable: Human-centric design supports human + machine co-creation

Our team continually assesses the generative AI landscape, bridging commercial innovation and federal priorities to build strategies and solutions that meet mission needs.

FedGPT: Generative AI models, tailored for federal

Our solution adapts generative LLMs to fit federal use cases and security requirements for on-prem, sensitive data. Integrating state-of-the-art models into a modular pipeline, FedGPT delivers a ChatGPT-like interface with customized capabilities.

Wide applicability

FedGPT can function as a standalone, air-gapped capability – or it can be integrated into third party applications and APIs. It can also serve as a custom content generator for the federal space.

Secure client environment

Hosted in a secure, private environment, analysts and engineers have full visibility into models without concerns about data leakage or access by unauthorized parties.

Cost-effective

The combination of models and skills can be run in CPU or GPU environments, bringing cutting-edge AI/ML capability with reasonable resource investment.

Cumulative power of combined skill sets

Agencies can curate FedGPT’s modular add-ons, called skills, to fit mission needs, available hardware, and budget – and skills can be developed, enhanced, or decommissioned over time as needs evolve.

How we deliver

Our Federal Generative AI Center of Excellence brings together generative AI practitioners to design prototypes, scale pre-built solutions and accelerators, and apply models to the real-world mission challenges that federal agencies face every day.

Accenture Federal Services collaborates closely with Accenture's Generative AI and LLM Center of Excellence, adapting Accenture's commercial generative AI capabilities to accelerate transformation for federal missions.

Our Discovery Lab is an innovation hub for analytics and technology – integrating data, discovery, and design to explore emerging technologies and prototype new capabilities. The Lab partners with federal clients to bring AI, analytics, and automation solutions to life.

The Lab houses multi-functional teams of data scientists, data engineers, visual specialists, and strategists to rapidly prototype intelligent solutions to data challenges. The offerings cut across the technology landscape: Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Visualization, Data Engineering, Data Science, Intelligent Apps, App Development, DevOps, and Infrastructure Automation.
