    Important Considerations

    • Availability Restrictions: Some AI model providers and Now Assist features may be restricted based on geographic regions, data center environment (such as FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected), or regulatory constraints.
    • AI Limitations: AI-generated content may not always be accurate or complete. Customers must perform validation and human oversight, especially in critical domains like healthcare, finance, legal, and security.
    • Data Processing and Collection: Use of this application involves transferring data to centralized ServiceNow environments or third-party cloud providers per ServiceNow’s compliance and security policies. ServiceNow collects input and output data to improve AI technologies, with an option for customers to opt out of data collection.
