The development of Alight LumenAI is underpinned by strategic AI investments made in 2023, including a transition to a central cloud data-lake; investments in new AI talent; aggressive generative AI experimentation; and the establishment of a formalized AI governance policy, framework and process to accelerate responsible innovation.

The latest AI innovation recently deployed by Alight in these categories include:

Assistance: Voice-based interactive response system (IVR) deployment in Alight’s call centers to facilitate natural language interactions for employees
Automation: Intelligent Document Processing that reduces processing times of employee-submitted documents from 10 minutes to near-instant
Personalization: Health and wealth guidance enhancements to provide personalized wellbeing guidance for employees.
