    Considerations and Limitations

    • Availability of AI model providers and features varies by region, data center environment, and compliance requirements. Some capabilities may be restricted in regulated markets or specific data center regions.
    • The application relies on AI and machine learning, which may occasionally produce inaccurate or incomplete summaries. It is essential to review and validate AI-generated content before use.
    • Human oversight is recommended to ensure the accuracy, appropriateness, and safety of AI outputs, especially in critical domains such as healthcare, finance, legal, and security.
    • Data used for AI processing is transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments and potentially third-party cloud providers, managed under ServiceNow’s compliance policies.
    • ServiceNow collects input and output data from app summary generation to improve AI models but provides customers with an option to opt out of data collection.
