    AI Limitations and Customer Responsibilities

    AI Lens uses machine learning to generate insights, but outputs may not always be accurate, complete, or appropriate. Customers must evaluate and test AI-generated results thoroughly, maintain human oversight, and avoid relying solely on AI for critical decision-making, especially in sensitive domains such as healthcare, finance, or security.

    Users are required to comply with ServiceNow’s AI Acceptable Use Policy, which guides responsible use and is subject to updates.

    Data Collection and Privacy

    • ServiceNow collects input, output, and edits associated with AI Lens usage to improve AI technologies and models.
    • Information about scripts used with Now Assist for code generation is also collected.
    • Customers can opt out of data collection at any time using the Now Assist Opt-Out options.
