    Who Should Use This

    This accelerator is ideal for organizations planning or deploying AI capabilities such as Now Assist, AI Agents, or Predictive Intelligence. Users should have familiarity with their current AI governance, risk management, and data handling practices.

    Customer Responsibilities and Resources

    Key roles recommended to participate include the Platform Owner, responsible for ServiceNow platform governance and alignment, and the AI/ML Program Lead or Sponsor, responsible for AI strategy and governance oversight. Customers must provide access to their ServiceNow instance and share knowledge of their existing AI governance policies, risk frameworks, AI deployments, and compliance requirements.

    Important Considerations

    ServiceNow provides assessment and guidance but does not implement governance changes. The responsibility for executing the recommended governance improvements lies solely with the customer.

    Assess your AI governance across six areas, identify and prioritize governance gaps, confirm focus areas, and build a 90-day action plan — all at your own pace.

Designed for independent execution, customers progress at their own pace using guided activities, example-driven content, and built-in tools without the need for scheduling the activities. This offering is grounded in the ServiceNow Governance framework and aligned to the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems.
