    • AI outputs may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate; human oversight and validation are required, especially in sensitive or consequential domains like healthcare, finance, legal, and security.
    • Users are responsible for testing AI outputs for their specific use cases and for abiding by ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    • Data used by the application is transferred from customer instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, which may be in different geographic regions or on third-party cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure.
    • ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits to improve AI models and products, including task data and chat transcripts related to Case Assist and Chat Assist features.
    • Customers have the option to opt out of data collection to control their data privacy preferences.
