SAP Ethics Advisory Board for AI
SAP is the first European technology company to develop its own guidelines for artificial intelligence (AI) and has created an external advisory board for the ethical use of artificial intelligence. The committee of experts from science, politics and industry ensures the implementation of the guidelines and is to develop them further together with the SAP AI Steering Committee - a group of SAP executives from the areas of development, strategy and human resources.
The new guidelines, the external committee and the internal committee form a control framework to ensure that the integrity of the company and trust in all SAP solutions are maintained, even with AI solutions supported by SAP Leonardo Machine Learning capabilities.
As the market leader for business software, SAP supports over 400,000 customers, and 77 percent of all transaction revenue worldwide is generated via an SAP system. SAP solutions and applications influence the lives of billions of people every day.
