"SAP prohibits API use for interaction or integration with (semi-) autonomous or generative AI systems that plan, select, or execute sequences of API calls, and scraping, harvesting, or systematic and/or large-scale data extraction or replication."
"If developers are only allowed to use the documented APIs it would allow the vendor to govern, monitor, throttle, and control future development of customers' SAP system."
"The concern is that customers themselves, or those working with partners, might be restricted in how they deploy alternatives to SAP's AI technologies or other systems."
SAP's new API policy prohibits integration with non-endorsed AI systems, raising concerns about limiting third-party tools' access to customer data. The policy restricts API use for autonomous AI systems and large-scale data extraction. Independent consultants warn that these changes could hinder SAP customers' ability to deploy alternative AI technologies. The documented APIs are not regularly updated, forcing reliance on undocumented APIs. This could allow SAP to control future development of customer systems. The policy has sparked controversy, with reports suggesting it may have been published by mistake.
