Mathematica applies responsible, human-in-the-lead AI to unlock insights, accelerate decision-making, and generate real-world impact across sectors.
From custom tools and automated document analysis to AI-enabled data platforms, our work streamlines complex workflows, reduces costs, and speeds agency operations while maintaining transparency, accuracy, and expert oversight. On this page, explore how our governed AI solutions deliver results with accountability and integrity at the forefront.
How CMS used AI to cut hospital inquiry turnaround time by 35%
A custom AI tool created by Mathematica and its partner helped the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) cut response times to certain hospital questions by 35 percent, delivering faster, clearer answers to providers. As agencies experiment with AI, CMS shows what governed AI can look like in practice, speeding operations without sacrificing accuracy, transparency, or expert oversight.

Accelerating regulatory analysis with generative AI
A generative AI-powered chatbot developed by Mathematica helped CMS cut annual costs for an analysis of an agency rule by roughly 94 percent. The AI solution automated time-intensive document comparison, freeing experts to focus on higher-value policy analysis. The result was not just more efficient rulemaking but a scalable model for using AI to support smarter, more transparent decision making in health policy and beyond.

Framework for evaluating LLMs’ handling of complex data sets
Most public evaluations of large language models (LLMs) rely on simplified or artificial data, making it hard to tell whether these tools can conduct the complex analyses used for real-world policymaking and research. To close that gap, Mathematica developed a prototype for a cloud-based LLM evaluation framework that tests how well different AI models analyze complex, survey-based data, helping organizations understand when and how AI can be used responsibly to support accurate, transparent decision making.

How AI can help government work better
Government agencies face growing demands to deliver faster, more efficient services while maintaining accountability and public trust. In a recent op-ed, Mathematica President and CEO Paul Decker outlines how artificial intelligence—when thoughtfully designed and governed—can help agencies meet these challenges. From improving program delivery to strengthening decision-making, AI offers practical opportunities to enhance how government works without replacing the human expertise at its core.

From our CEO
“The most important impact of AI in the public sector may not be automation at all. It is the ability to shorten the time between data becoming available and leaders gaining the insights they need to act. In other words, AI’s real promise lies in improving time to insight.”

President and Chief Executive Officer
