Accenture has moved to deepen its artificial intelligence strength with a new acquisition focused on advanced and responsible AI adoption.
The company has agreed to acquire Faculty, a leading artificial intelligence services and products company based in the United Kingdom. The move is aimed at expanding Accenture’s ability to help organisations redesign core and mission critical business processes using safe, secure, and outcome driven AI solutions, as enterprises speed up the use of advanced AI across operations.
Founded in 2014, Faculty is known for its strong technical expertise in applied artificial intelligence and decision intelligence. The company combines advanced machine learning with simulation and optimisation technologies to help organisations make data driven decisions in complex and high stakes environments. Its decision intelligence product allows clients to model scenarios, test outcomes, and refine strategies before making real world changes.
Faculty has worked with public and private sector clients across the United Kingdom and other key international markets. Its services cover AI strategy development, AI safety and governance, and the design, build, and deployment of high performance AI systems. These capabilities have helped Faculty build trust with organisations that want to scale AI responsibly while maintaining strong standards for ethics, reliability, and security.
For Accenture, the acquisition supports its wider plan to embed artificial intelligence deeply into enterprise transformation efforts. By combining Faculty’s technical talent and decision intelligence platforms with Accenture’s global delivery network, industry knowledge, and client relationships, the firm aims to speed up innovation and deliver more advanced AI solutions at scale.
The deal also strengthens Accenture’s focus on safe and responsible AI use. Faculty’s experience in AI safety and governance adds to Accenture’s ongoing investments in trust, compliance, and security, helping clients address growing regulatory and societal expectations around AI.
Overall, the acquisition highlights Accenture’s commitment to building strong AI capabilities that deliver clear business outcomes and support organisations in scaling artificial intelligence across critical processes.
