Successfully completed AI pilot with Microsoft – now live – boosts fraud detection

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.: Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-driven business solutions and services company, is embedding generative AI (GenAI) and other advanced AI technologies into its suite of solutions for state and federal agencies. These technologies aim to improve the disbursement of critical government benefits, enhance the citizen experience, and fortify fraud prevention across major aid programs like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

As part of a recently completed GenAI pilot with Microsoft – originally announced in 2024 and now fully deployed – Conduent has significantly increased its fraud detection capacity for its largest open-loop payment card programs. Because these cards can be used at a wide range of merchants, monitoring for fraud is particularly complex. Leveraging AI, a small team of specialists can now surveil tens of thousands of accounts for suspicious activity, including identity theft and account takeover with significant improvement in accuracy. This capability is in the process of being scaled to other payment card programs.

Following the pilot’s success, Conduent is now seeking to apply similar AI methodologies to help detect and prevent fraud in Medicaid and closed-loop EBT cards, including SNAP benefits – helping safeguard usage at approved retailers. A leader in government payment disbursements, Conduent currently supports electronic payments for public programs in 37 states.

“As states adapt to evolving budget constraints and eligibility requirements, AI can empower agencies to reduce fraud and improper payments while improving service delivery,” said Anna Sever, President, Government Solutions at Conduent. “With decades of experience supporting critical government programs, Conduent is deepening its investment in AI to expand these gains across multiple programs.”

Transforming Customer Support with AI

Conduent is also deploying AI to drive improvements in the contact center experience for public benefit recipients. A standout example is the Conduent GenAI-powered capability that equips agents with instant access to accurate, program-specific information – reducing call handling times.
