SAP•SAP updates Global AI Ethics policy
SAP updated its Global AI Ethics policy to version 3.0 to tighten safeguards for enterprise AI deployment and scale adoption.
The revision draws on interviews with more than 50 international experts, targeting accountability, safety measures, and governance for agentic AI.
Framework and deployment requirements
The framework centers on ethics, security, and compliance, aligning with emerging rules such as the EU AI Act.
Mandatory AI ethics impact assessments score each use case against 10 principles before deployment, with escalation to an ethics steering committee.
The policy requires human oversight by design, with agent actions logged for traceability across mission-critical workflows.
