    Important Considerations

    • AI model availability varies by region and data center compliance standards (e.g., FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected environments).
    • Some AI features and models may be restricted or unavailable based on geographic or regulatory constraints.
    • ServiceNow advises customers to monitor updates on AI model availability for their specific regions or compliance requirements.

    AI Usage and Limitations

    The application uses artificial intelligence and machine learning, which may not always provide fully accurate or complete results. Customers are responsible for validating AI outputs, employing human oversight, and avoiding sole reliance on AI for critical decisions, especially in sensitive areas such as healthcare, finance, legal, or security.

    Users must comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy and remain aware that this policy may be updated over time.

    Data Processing and Privacy

    Data entered into the application is transferred from the customer’s ServiceNow instance to centralized ServiceNow environments, which may be hosted in different geographic regions or third-party cloud providers like Microsoft Azure. Data handling follows ServiceNow’s internal policies and compliance standards.

    ServiceNow collects data inputs, outputs, and user edits from this application to improve AI models and technologies. Customers have the option to opt out of data collection at any time.
