From Hype to Hard Results: Trusted AI With Accenture and Automation Anywhere

How Accenture and Automation Anywhere are powering enterprise reinvention with AI + automation at scale

Every enterprise today faces the same challenge: reinvent quickly, or risk falling behind in an age where artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the rules. But true transformation doesn’t come from adding more tools or chasing the latest hype. It comes from driving measurable results with AI you can trust while staying accountable to regulators, employees, and customers.

Trust is the new differentiator

Responsible AI isn’t a feature to add over your existing tech; it’s the foundation for scaling with confidence. Guardrails, governance, and transparency give businesses the freedom to innovate quickly without sacrificing compliance or control.

That’s where Agentic Process Automation (APA) comes in. Unlike traditional task automation, APA introduces AI agents that can reason, decide, and act across systems — accelerating transformation while ensuring every action is explainable and auditable.

To help enterprises further accelerate transformation, Accenture and Automation Anywhere are partnering to deliver agentic AI with trust at its core. This enables enterprises to orchestrate work seamlessly across systems, clouds, and functions.

Agentic AI’s impact is being proven across the marketplace. This makes the business case for trusted AI very clear, according to recent Accenture research:

• 83% of executives now say generative AI’s business impact exceeds their expectations.
• Companies expect responsible AI to drive a 25% gain in customer loyalty and satisfaction.
• Advantages include improved regulatory readiness, higher employee adoption, and more sustainable innovation.

How to build measurable transformation

What does it take to turn the promise of measurable transformation and trustworthy AI into reality? Forward-thinking leaders are taking three steps:

• Start with domain-ready solutions. Tools like Automation Anywhere’s APA are built for regulated industries where compliance is non-negotiable.
• Partner for accountability, not just technology. Choose collaborators who bring innovation and responsibility to the table.
• Scale responsibly. Build trust into every stage so you can move faster without compromising the core of your business.

Accenture and Automation Anywhere: The agentic AI advantage

Together, our partnership unites Accenture’s deep industry expertise and leadership in responsible AI with Automation Anywhere’s open, hyperscaler-first automation platform, which orchestrates automation across apps, systems, and clouds.

The result: enterprise automation that is agentic and accountable, governed from day one for speed, scale, and safety.

The shift toward agentic AI is only accelerating. According to Accenture’s global survey, organizations realizing enterprise-level value from AI are nearly five times more likely to have invested in agentic AI and six times more likely to increase that investment significantly going forward.

But speed and scale cannot come at the expense of safety. Eight out of ten executives (81%) say rapid experimentation is vital for scaling generative AI, yet 71% admit they are too risk-averse. Responsible governance is how teams gain the confidence to move and scale quickly — without breaking the business.

You need transformation you can measure. It can only be built on agentic AI you can trust. And together, Accenture and Automation Anywhere are ready to help you make it real.
