SAS AI governance solutions frequently asked questions
What is AI governance?
AI governance is an all-encompassing strategy that establishes AI oversight, ensures compliance, and develops consistent operations and infrastructure within an organization. It also fosters a human-centric culture and promotes AI transparency and accountability.
Why is AI governance important?
Strong AI governance builds trust with customers, regulators and internal stakeholders. Organizations with robust AI governance frameworks are better positioned to:
- Avoid and recover from unintended societal and environmental impacts.
- Attract and retain top AI talent who demand responsible innovation environments.
- Strengthen trust in AI-driven decisions.
- Confidently manage AI risks.
- Simplify operations.
- Future-proof organizational strategy.
Without AI governance, organizations face possible legal penalties, reputational damage from biased or opaque AI decisions, operational inefficiencies, and a lack of stakeholder trust.
What is trustworthy AI?
Trustworthy AI is an artificial intelligence system designed, developed and deployed with human-centricity in mind. These systems incorporate appropriate levels of accountability, inclusivity, transparency, completeness and robustness to promote human agency and prevent human harm. Trustworthy AI ensures that safety, reliability and ethical considerations align with AI governance principles.
What approach does SAS take to AI governance?
SAS follows a four-pronged collaborative AI governance approach that focuses on:
- Oversight: Ensures that internal and external AI-enabled technologies and processes adhere to data ethics principles. Advises leadership on sales, consulting, product development and procurement opportunities involving AI oversight.
- Operations: Absorbs and interprets expectations and demand, then develops AI technologies that align with market viability, SAS portfolio synergy, regulatory compliance and data ethics principles.
- Compliance: Monitors, audits and seeks compliance with data ethics principles. Provides organizational checks and balances to identify mitigation needs before AI-related technologies and services are made public.
- Culture: Cultivates an ecosystem of creators, contributors and consumers of AI for knowledge sharing, collaboration and the normalization of behaviors and practices aligned with data ethics principles.

How is AI governance different from data governance and model governance?
Data governance is the strategic framework for managing data within an organization. Model governance guides the entire life cycle of a model, including development, testing, auditing, deployment and monitoring. AI governance is an all-encompassing strategy that establishes oversight, ensures compliance and develops consistent operations and infrastructure within an organization.
AI governance and trustworthy AI work together. AI governance is what organizations do to accelerate innovation and ensure AI is trustworthy.
