Access to specific AI features depends on your ServiceNow license and regional availability, with certain AI models and skills restricted in regulated markets or specific data center environments.

## Key Features

* **Generative AI Skills:** Improve task completion speed and quality within the CWM workspace.
* **Conversational AI Platform:** Supports interactions across multiple channels and enables autonomous workflow orchestration.
* **AI Model Providers:** Integration with Now LLM Service, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude, configurable via AI Control Tower and AI Admin Hub.
* **Configurability:** Administrators can select AI model options and set skill-level preferences to tailor AI behavior.
* **Data Handling:** Data may be transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments or third-party cloud providers, managed under ServiceNow's compliance policies.

## Important Considerations

* AI outputs may not always be accurate or appropriate; human oversight and testing are essential, especially in sensitive domains such as healthcare, finance, or security.
* Customers must comply with ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy and remain aware of updates.
* Data collection includes inputs, outputs, edits, task data, and chat transcripts, which ServiceNow uses to improve AI technologies. Customers can opt out of data collection.
* Regional restrictions may limit availability of certain AI features for customers in specific regulated markets or data centers.

## Next Steps for Customers

* Review your ServiceNow license and regional compliance to understand which AI features are accessible.
* Configure AI model providers and skill preferences through AI Control Tower and AI Admin Hub to optimize AI usage.
* Implement human oversight processes to validate AI-generated outputs before relying on them for critical decisions.

## AI limitations {#now-assist-for-cwm-landing__section_yh2_5yf_1zb}

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not
always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility
to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making
purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#now-assist-for-cwm-landing__p_kv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data processing {#now-assist-for-cwm-landing__section_j4z_vyf_1zb}

This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#now-assist-for-cwm-landing__p_lv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data collection {#now-assist-for-cwm-landing__section_op1_xyf_1zb}

ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. In addition, this application will collect task data (for Case Assist) and chat transcripts (for Chat Assist). Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [AI Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
