    AI Usage Considerations

    This application employs AI and machine learning, which may not always produce fully accurate or appropriate results. ServiceNow advises customers to rigorously test AI outputs, apply human oversight, and avoid relying solely on AI-generated content for critical decisions—especially in sensitive areas like healthcare, finance, legal, security, and infrastructure. Compliance with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy is required.

    Data Handling and Privacy

    Data used by Now Assist is transferred from customer instances to centralized ServiceNow environments, possibly hosted in different geographic regions or third-party cloud providers like Microsoft Azure. ServiceNow manages this data according to internal policies and compliance standards. Inputs and outputs from the application are collected to improve ServiceNow’s AI technologies, with customers having the option to opt out of data collection at any time.

    Use ServiceNow Now Assist in Knowledge Management to generate a new knowledge article for a case or incident via the Now Assist panel, classic environment, or the respective configurable workspace. Agents can use these articles to propose quicker resolutions to customers.
