Hedera Foundation, in collaboration with Accenture and EQTY Lab announced plans for a strategic integration aimed at delivering transparent, tamper-proof oversight for artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI systems deployed in the public sector. This agreement will introduce a solution that will help governments and public sector organizations manage AI-driven decisions with transparency, auditability, and trust. It will leverage EQTY Lab'sVerifiable Compute, and the Hedera network's decentralized infrastructure.
As part of the integration, Accenture is developing a blueprint and pricing model to help make verifiable governance modules built on the Hedera network viable for public sector integrations with a wide range of ERP and digital platforms. Created in collaboration with EQTY Lab technology, these modules will be piloted in select AI and machine learning applications. Accenture will work with Hedera to create playbooks for the business logic of AI at scale and implementation strategies that make full use of the Hedera network's capabilities in the public sector, including the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) and Hedera Token Service (HTS). Together, these technologies provide an immutable record of AI decisions and actions, helping to enable data integrity across autonomous systems. This agreement is a key example of the convergence between blockchain and AI to address a growing global need for AI governance that is transparent, decentralized, and enforceable by design.
It will help governments maintain authority over their data and decision-making processes, even when operating across distributed digital systems.
