# Update use and purpose

# Update the use and purpose of an AI asset {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Update the use and purpose values for an AI asset when its operating
characteristics or business outcome change so that risk classifications and governance
controls continue to reflect how the asset behaves.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ai_governance.ai_steward or sn_ai_asset_mgmt.ai_asset_owner  
Note:  
Users with the AI asset owner \[sn_ai_asset_mgmt.ai_asset_owner\] role can view details for any asset but can only update assets that they own.

## About this task

Use and purpose values describe how an AI system operates and what outcome it produces.
These values are first captured during asset onboarding, but they can change over time.
For example, an AI system that originally proposed actions for a user to approve might
later be reconfigured to act on its own. When that happens, the asset's
System autonomy level and
Level of human involvement values no longer reflect how the
asset actually behaves, and any risk classification or control assignment based on those
values is out of date.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Control TowerHomeInventory.
2. Open the asset record for the AI asset that you want to update.
3. Select the Details tab and locate the Use and purpose section.
4. In the Use and purpose section, update the relevant fields.  
   For example, an AI system that previously required user approval before acting has been reconfigured to act on its own. In this case, change System autonomy level from Semi-Automated (acts with confirmation) to Fully Automated Execution, and change Level of human involvement from AI-Initiated with User Approval to Fully Automated Workflow.

   For a description of the fields and their values, see [Use and purpose fields](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/_~GLxMS2SP87ZJAYXq3~gw "Field and value reference for the Use and purpose section of an AI asset record. AI stewards and AI asset owners reference these values during onboarding, reviews, and audits.").
5. Select the check icon to save your changes.

## Result

The updated values appear in the Use and purpose section and
are referenced in subsequent reviews, risk classifications, and audit responses.

## What to do next

If the change affects how the asset operates, review the controls and governance
assignments that depend on these values to confirm they still apply.
