To help organizations responsibly unlock the full value of Generative AI (GenAI), SAS has launched a benchmarking tool that enables businesses to assess their AI maturity, compare themselves with global peers, and implement AI securely and successfully.
Understanding GenAI Adoption Maturity

The SAS GenAI benchmarking tool categorizes organizations into three tiers based on eight questions:
- Observer – Lagging behind in GenAI adoption.

- Banking
