Since our founding, Abt Global has tackled the world’s toughest challenges with data analytics solutions and emerging technology. Data science remains at the heart of what we do today. We apply cutting-edge versions of tools--natural language processing, generative AI, chatbots, drones, and more—to our clients’ needs in health, environment, education, and economic development. And we use data storytelling and visualization to provide evidence-based insights that inform decision making. We use a variety of techniques to eliminate bias in the data we use, including engaging those often subject to discrimination.
