SAS

SAS is a statistical analysis software company whose platform is widely used in banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, and government for regulated modeling and reporting. For AI governance teams, it matters because many organizations run credit scoring, risk, and clinical models through SAS tools, so model validation, audit trails, and documentation requirements under frameworks like model risk management guidance often apply directly to those workflows. The company also markets AI and machine learning features, which means its products may fall within the scope of emerging AI rules that require transparency and oversight.

Only 18% of Banks Have Fully Embedded AI Governance, SAS Survey Finds

A survey of banking institutions by SAS and FT Longitude finds that only 18% have fully operational AI governance processes embedded across their organizations. Just 19% use real-time model drift monitoring, and 42% lack defined kill switches for AI models that exceed preset risk thresholds. The findings give compliance teams industry benchmarks to measure their own programs against as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.
