Latest lightweight offerings readymade to jump process hurdles, enhance productivity and generate value<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the latest wave of its $1 billion investment in industry solutions, data and AI leader SAS has debuted a new selection of AI models. Each model addresses a specific labor- and time-intensive process that can drag business down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They come either pre-trained and ready-to-go, or as model pipelines that tailor and accelerate model training on customer data. All can quickly and easily integrate with the existing systems of organizations of all sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built to rigorous standards set by the SAS Data Ethics Practice, the models are explainable, coming with clear, simple documentation outlining how they arrive at decisions. Users are well-equipped to take back their time and enjoy boosted productivity and return on investment, all while adhering to the highest standards of responsible innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The models, available now, include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Cross-Industry:
o AI-Driven Entity Resolution.
o Document Analysis.
\u2022 Health Care:
o Medication Adherence Risk.
\u2022 Manufacturing:
o Strategic Supply Chain Optimization.
\u2022 Public Sector:
o Payment Integrity for Food Assistance.
o Tax Compliance for Sales Tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSAS Models are based on SAS\u2019 core assets, talent and intellectual property from its wealth of experience working with customers to solve industry problems,\u201d said Kathy Lange, Research Director at IDC. \u201cBetween their scalability and seamless integration with existing environments, SAS Models are a great option for those looking to accelerate time to production who might lack the expertise or time to build models from scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A model portfolio on a roll and an agentic sneak preview
As SAS continues to lead the future of AI for business, new models will be launched per evolving customer and market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh offerings coming in 2025 will include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Banking:
o Fraud Decisioning for Payments and Card Models.
\u2022 Health Care:
o Payment Integrity for HealthCare.
\u2022 Manufacturing:
o Worker Safety Monitoring.
\u2022 Public Sector:
o Tax Compliance for Individual Income Tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As SAS redefines what\u2019s possible with pre-built AI innovation, the next chapter includes agentic counterparts to SAS\u2019 models, bringing even more autonomy to industry-specific offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can take weeks or months for data scientists to create and fine-tune data lakes: essential repositories that can store, then crunch large amounts of raw customer data in its original format, then restructure and transform it to make it ready for models to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAS\u2019 answer to this issue: a pre-built AI agent that will automate complex data preparation tasks, helping models run in real time, with no manual data restructuring required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe the future of AI lies in agents that are not only intelligent but also responsible, ready-to-use and relevant,\u201d said Udo Sglavo, VP of Applied AI and Modeling, R&D at SAS. \u201cOur new industry-specific models, built on decades of domain expertise and guided by our ethics-first approach, represent a bold step toward agentic AI: solutions that think with context, act with purpose and deliver real-world impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
