    Important Considerations

    • Availability of AI model providers and Now Assist features varies based on geography, data center, compliance requirements, and licensing. Customers in restricted environments or regulated markets may have limited access.
    • AI-generated outputs may not always be fully accurate or appropriate. Customers should apply human oversight, thoroughly test AI outputs, and avoid sole reliance on AI for critical decisions—especially in sensitive domains such as healthcare, finance, legal, or security.
    • Use of AI Data Explorer involves data transfer from your ServiceNow instance to centralized ServiceNow environments or third-party cloud providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure). Data handling complies with ServiceNow’s internal policies and compliance standards.
    • ServiceNow collects inputs, outputs, and edits from AI Data Explorer to improve AI technologies. Customers may opt out of data collection at any time via the Now Assist Opt-Out options.

    What ServiceNow Customers Can Expect

    By enabling AI Data Explorer, customers gain a powerful assistant for rapidly generating insights from their data and improving analytical collaboration. However, customers must evaluate AI outputs carefully for accuracy and compliance, understand data processing implications, and verify feature availability based on their environment and regulatory constraints. This tool helps accelerate data-driven decision-making while aligning with enterprise governance policies.

    AI Data Explorer is your AI-companion for instant insights and deep data explorations. Ask quick questions, receive tailored recommendations, and collaborate with AI and your colleagues to build long-term analysis.
