## Summary of ServiceNow Otto for Third-party Risk Management (TPRM)

ServiceNow Otto for Third-party Risk Management (TPRM) leverages generative AI to automate the collection and interpretation of third-party risk data.
Available starting from the Australia Patch 5 release, this application includes AI-driven skills that help organizations quickly summarize third-party risk issues and generate recommendations based on assessment responses and historical data, enhancing team efficiency and consistency in risk assessments.

Your existing product entitlements remain unchanged, but access to specific AI features depends on your license and ServiceNow product tier.

## Key Features

* **TPRM Issue Summarization:** Uses generative AI to create concise summaries of third-party risk issues, improving organizational efficiency and team coordination.
* **TPRM Issue Recommendation:** Applies AI to recommend third-party risk issues based on data from the Smart Assessment Engine and historical assessment records, supporting more consistent reviews.

These AI-driven skills are accessible to users with the *TPRM GenAI User* role, which is assigned to Third-party Assessment reviewers upon application installation.

Note that issue recommendations require assessments powered by the Smart Assessment Engine and rely on prior issues and assessment data for generating relevant suggestions.

## Considerations and Limitations

* AI capabilities may not be available in all regions or data center environments, including FedRAMP, NSC DOD IL5, Australia IRAP-Protected data centers, self-hosted instances, and regulated markets. Customers should verify feature availability based on their deployment and licensing.
* AI-generated outputs may not always be accurate or appropriate for every use case. It is critical to maintain human oversight, thoroughly test AI outputs, and avoid sole reliance on AI for decision-making, especially in high-impact domains such as finance, healthcare, legal, or security.
* Data used by the AI may be transferred to centralized ServiceNow environments or third-party cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, following ServiceNow's internal policies and compliance standards.
* ServiceNow collects data inputs, outputs, and user edits to improve AI models but allows customers to opt out of future data collection.

## Getting Started and Support

* Configure AI capabilities within the Third-party Risk Management application to enable summarization and recommendation skills.
* Activate and use the TPRM issue summarization and recommendation skills to generate summaries and suggested risk issues.
* Leverage generated recommendations to create or dismiss third-party risk issues efficiently.
* For troubleshooting and additional help, consult the ServiceNow Community on AI and Intelligence, Known Error Portal, or contact ServiceNow Customer Service and Support.  
With the ServiceNow Otto for Third-party Risk Management (TPRM) application, you can use skills to automate the collection of TPRM risk data.

## AI limitations {#exploring-now-assist-tprm__section_w4v_wxm_xyb}

This application uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, which are rapidly evolving fields of study that generate predictions based on patterns in data. As a result, this application may not
always produce accurate, complete, or appropriate information. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that this application has been fully trained or tested for your use case. To mitigate these issues, it is your responsibility
to test and evaluate your use of this application for accuracy, harm, and appropriateness for your use case, employ human oversight of output, and refrain from relying solely on AI-generated outputs for decision-making
purposes. This is especially important if you choose to deploy this application in areas with consequential impacts such as healthcare, finance, legal, employment, security, or infrastructure. You agree to abide by [ServiceNow's AI Acceptable Use Policy](https://www.servicenow.com/ai-acceptable-use-policy.html), which may be updated by ServiceNow.{#exploring-now-assist-tprm__p_kv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data processing {#exploring-now-assist-tprm__section_x4v_wxm_xyb}

This application requires data to be transferred from ServiceNow customers' individual instances to a centralized ServiceNow environment, which may be located in a different data center region from the one where your instance is, and potentially to a third-party cloud provider, such as Microsoft Azure. This data is handled per ServiceNow's internal policies and procedures, including our policies available through our [CORE Compliance Portal](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0564067).{#exploring-now-assist-tprm__p_lv2_nfg_h1c}

## Data collection {#exploring-now-assist-tprm__section_y4v_wxm_xyb}

ServiceNow collects and uses the inputs, outputs, and edits to outputs of this application to develop and improve ServiceNow technologies including ServiceNow models and AI products. In addition, this application will collect incident data (for Incident Assist and Knowledge Assist) and chat transcripts (for Chat Assist). Customers can opt out of future data collection at any time, as described in the [Now Assist Opt-Out page](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=opt-out-of-data-sharing-for-now-assist&version=australia&pubname=australia-intelligent-experiences&ft:locale=en-US).
