Generate an AI risk assessment summary
Generate an AI risk assessment summary based on your inherent risks, residual risks, target risks, and control effectiveness data by using the ServiceNow Otto for IRM application. Approvers get key insights to understand the context quickly, and you spend less time creating summaries manually.
Before you begin
The ServiceNow Otto for IRM application must be installed to generate a risk assessment summary. For more information, see ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM).
Note: The Risk Assessment Summarization skill is activated by default, unless you manually deactivate it. For more information, see Activate Now Assist skills in ServiceNow Otto for Integrated Risk Management (IRM).
Role required: The sn_grc_sharegenai.risk_asmt_user role must be assigned manually to the assessor (sn_risk_advanced.ara_assessor) and approver (sn_risk_advanced.ara_approver) roles to generate the risk assessment summary.
