SAS: AI everywhere demands partners domain expertise - ChannelBuzz.ca

As it moves to embed artificial intelligence and machine learning throughout its product line, SAS executives say the company will look to its growing base of partners to bring domain expertise to make that artificial intelligence actually intelligent. At its Global Forum event in Denver last week, the company announced that AI would become a common feature across its offerings. And CMO Randy Guard told ChannelBuzz.ca at the event that the biggest untapped opportunity for the company's partners is in connecting that AI capability with their own knowledge. "If you're going to solve a problem an AI product, you've got to bring your domain expertise, and marry the two of those together," Guard said. "As we start embedding AI and intelligence in everything we do, our partner community needs to recognize how that can be applied to the business scenarios they're solving for their customers."
