SAS Explore in Las Vegas revealed a much bigger side of SAS than statistics alone, with AI and analytics taking center stage. The conference covered everything from data engineering and computer vision to augmented analytics and data governance, and it was eye-opening to see how many tools SAS actually offers.

The biggest takeaways were the AI and generative AI features. One standout was synthetic data, which can be used to create fake datasets for testing what-if scenarios, including a healthcare example involving kidney disease and kidney transplants. The other major focus was the way SAS is building LLMs into its products so users can chat with data and speed up lower-level tasks.

It is a thoughtful recap for anyone interested in enterprise AI, analytics software, data science tools, and how major companies are integrating generative AI into real products. If you are researching SAS, AI in analytics platforms, synthetic data, or modern data governance workflows, this recap offers a clear look at what was showcased at the event.

Ideal for viewers searching for SAS Explore recap, AI and analytics conference highlights, enterprise AI software, synthetic data use cases, generative AI in data analytics, and data engineering tools. It also fits searches for business intelligence, augmented analytics, and practical AI applications in data science.

00:00What's going on, everybody?
00:01Welcome back to another video.
00:02Today, we're gonna be talking about SaaS.
00:10A couple of weeks ago, I was invited out to SaaS Explore,
00:13which is their big SaaS conference out in Las Vegas.
00:16Now on my channel, I have recommended in the past
00:18for people to learn SaaS for statistics.
00:21That's really all I've ever personally used it for,
00:23but I had a feeling it did more than that.
00:25So when they mentioned that this conference
00:27was gonna have a big focus on AI and analytics,
00:29I really wanted to attend
00:31because I wanted to see how these large companies
00:33were gonna be integrating AI into their software.
00:35Now, although AI and generative AI
00:37was the main focus of this conference,
00:39they still had all these booths in this giant room
00:41with everything that SaaS actually did.
00:43I honestly didn't know that SaaS did all of those things.
00:45I really just thought it was for statistics,
00:48and that is in the name of SaaS,
00:50but they do a lot of other things like data engineering,
00:54computer vision, augmented analytics,
00:55data governance, and a ton of other things as well.
00:58And so I was just kind of nerding out at every booth.
01:00I was asking a ton of questions and really digging into
01:02how each of their systems work,
01:04and they honestly looked really cool.
01:06And so now looking back, I feel kind of bad
01:08because I've only ever talked about it
01:09for statistical analysis, and I didn't really know
01:12or understand that it did all of these other things.
01:15But one of the things that interested me the most
01:16and something that I specifically came out there
01:18to learn more about was AI and generative AI within SaaS.
01:22There's really only two different things that I wanted to talk about
01:24in terms of AI and generative AI within SaaS,
01:26that I just thought was really, really cool.
01:28The first was how they can create this synthetic data
01:31that you can use to test for specific use cases.
01:34It's basically fake data that you can create
01:35for all these what-if scenarios.
01:37What if this happens and you can test the data on it
01:39to see what would happen in that scenario?
01:42That alone is a really great use of AI.
01:44And they gave an example with kidney disease
01:46and kidney transplants in healthcare.
01:48And I'm extremely familiar with that area.
01:51And so I thought the use case that they gave was really unique
01:54and something that I thought would be really useful
01:56because I've actually worked with that data before.
01:59I could absolutely see myself using something like that,
02:02using this fake synthetic data in order to test
02:05all these hypotheses or all these scenarios.
02:07The second thing that I thought was really cool
02:08is that they're implementing LLMs throughout their entire product.
02:11So at every single level of their product,
02:14you're going to be able to just chat with your data and ask questions
02:16and kind of get some of the low level tasks done quickly.
02:20That's something that a ton of other really big tech companies
02:23are trying to do and SaaS is actually doing it.
02:25So it's just really neat to see how they're executing it
02:28and how it actually works.
02:29All that to say, I feel like I need to dig into SaaS
02:31just a little bit more to really understand it
02:33and see everything that it can do.
02:35Huge shout to SaaS for bringing me out to the conference.
02:37I had a wonderful time and I got to spend time
02:39with some really awesome creators in the data space.
