Hello everyone!

SAP Sapphire & ASUG Annual Conference Orlando 2026 is where SAP will showcase its latest AI advancements, including the next evolution of Joule. Today, I want to share insights about my session on Responsible AI —and why it matters now more than ever.

About Me
I’m part of the SAP Business AI team, where I lead work on Responsible AI. In simple terms, Responsible AI is about asking (and answering) the uncomfortable questions: What can go wrong with AI? How might it be misused? Where do we need stronger safeguards —across ethics, cybersecurity, and compliance? How to verify safety and security of AI applications? That includes topics like AI security, guidance on ethical usage, and navigating regulatory expectations—whether they’re country-specific or industry-specific. My role is to bring together experts across ethics, security, and compliance so we can build Business AI that earns trust by design.

AI is a core part of SAP’s strategy, and Sapphire is where you’ll see new innovations and experiences in Joule. Alongside that innovation, we will also talk about responsibility: how we design Joule and agentic applications so they can be used safely, governed appropriately, and protected against misuse.
Specifically, I’ll address:
– The architectural building blocks of Joule
– How they reduce common risk patterns
– How governance controls apply when AI agents are involved behind the scenes

Agent governance in business systems is not a nice-to-have feature—it is a mandatory requirement to ensure the safety of businesses and their users. We will discuss how we solve this challenge in Joule, and I look forward to learning from your experiences and ideas.

Thanks,
Sudhakar
