Accenture has agreed to acquire Faculty, a UK-based AI-native services and products company, to significantly scale its applied AI and decision intelligence capabilities. The deal strengthens Accenture’s ability to help clients redesign core business processes using safe, secure and outcome-driven AI.
Founded in 2014, Faculty works with public and private sector organizations to design and deploy high-performance AI systems, with a strong focus on AI safety, ethics and governance. The company collaborates with leading AI labs such as OpenAI and Anthropic and supports regulators, including the UK AI Security Institute, on model safety assessments.
