The learning program will leverage services from Accenture LearnVantage, including curated and customized content to drive AI fluency for S&P Global’s workforce. It will help S&P Global effectively address the industry’s evolving talent requirements and empower employees at all levels to leverage the advantages of gen AI.

Beyond the AI learning initiative, the companies also plan to enhance AI development and benchmarking throughout the financial services industry. The collaboration will bring together Accenture's Foundation Model Services, which help companies manage and scale large language models (LLMs), with S&P AI Benchmarks by Kensho, a solution that evaluates LLMs’ performance for financial and quantitative use cases. Customers can use Accenture’s proprietary gen AI “switchboard” to select and customize models based on the business context or use case, as well as its managed services for finetuning and prompt engineering. They will also have access to S&P AI Benchmarks to evaluate the AI model’s performance and ability to solve complex financial queries via S&P Global’s standardized and transparent third-party verification. This collaboration will enable banks, insurers, and capital markets firms to strengthen the performance and efficacy of their solutions while ensuring that responsible AI is built into every use.
