Turn on offensiveness protection to log and add the option to block offensive content in AI-generated text and conversations.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_generative_ai.nsa_admin

## About this task

Generative AI is probabilistic, which means that outputs are based on probabilities, and using the same input twice does not guarantee the same output. Some of the material generated by AI could potentially be undesirable because of toxicity, sexism, or other offensive sentiment. Now Assist Guardian enables you to log any material that is detected to be offensive. If you choose, you can also block offensive material so that users don't see the generated content. Instead, they see a message stating that offensive material has been detected and blocked.

See [Now Assist Guardian](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/BQvph7lgaJzD2H8BJjlYtw "Enable Now Assist Guardian, built with Llama 3.1, to monitor and evaluate content created with generative AI to help protect and enhance the user experience.") for more information.

Logs can be exported for review. For instructions on how to do so, see [Export Now Assist Guardian logs](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/J_GVe5H9eqYKUbvbiN3e5A "Export logs from Now Assist Guardian to get insights into how often different guardrails are being detected and used.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllNow Assist AdminSettings.
2. In the side panel, select the Now Assist GuardianOffensiveness tab.
3. Go to the Available for you tab to see which workflows you can choose from.  
   If you have any offensiveness guardrails already activated, they appear in the Active tab.
4. Select Activate for the workflow that you want to enable offensiveness protection on.
5. Select your impact detection.  
   Now Assist Guardian logs when offensive content is detected or generated when offensiveness protection is activated. You can also choose whether you want to block the content from the user. If you choose to block the content, the user sees a standardized message explaining that offensive material has been blocked instead of what was generated.


6. Select Save.

## Result

Now Assist Guardian's offensiveness guardrail is enabled on your instance for the workflow you have selected.

## What to do next

You can enable offensiveness protection for all Now Assist applications that you have enabled on your instance. If you want to change your detection impact, you can select more options (![More options icon.]()) in the list of active workflows and choose Edit.

You can deactivate offensiveness protection for your workflow at any time by selecting more options and choosing Deactivate.
