SAS supercharges Viya platform with AI agents, copilots, and synthetic data tools

To that end, SAS has introduced new governance resources to help organizations assess their current AI governance maturity in four essential areas: oversight, compliance, operations, and culture. Known as the AI Governance Map, the tool is the latest addition to the company’s suite of governance products. And more are on the way; SAS has announced an upcoming product, designed for executives, that it described as “a unified holistic AI governance solution” able to aggregate, orchestrate, and monitor AI systems, models, and agents.

Abhishek Punjani, research analyst – AI at Info-Tech Research Group, approved of the direction SAS has taken. “In the race to innovate with AI, many organizations made a fundamental misstep early on in their AI journey by putting innovation and speed above control, sometimes at the cost of long-term resilience,” he noted. “However, the tide is beginning to swing in a more responsible and balanced direction. With its latest and agentic AI innovations, SAS is at the forefront of the industry’s movement toward a more balanced and responsible path forward. Through a combination of ethical calibrations, SAS intends to create enterprise value through AI systems that are impactful and ethically sound, allowing for tailored levels of human oversight and intervention.”

Punjani also liked the approach taken with the rest of the SAS announcements.
