# Accept or dismiss AI-recommended control objectives

Generate AI-assisted recommendations to quickly identify and associate relevant control objectives with an AI Assessment from the AI risk and compliance library.

## Before you begin

The assessment task must be in Review state.

Role required: sn\_grc\_ai\_gov.ai\_risk\_and\_compliance\_analyst, sn\_airc\_gen\_ai.airc\_ai\_user

**Note:** Without the sn\_airc\_gen\_ai.airc\_ai\_user role, the risk and compliance analyst reviewing the assessment can't generate AI recommendations.

## About this task

After a business user submits an AI Assessment, the assessment task moves to the Review state. As the assigned analyst on the assessment task, generate AI recommendations to quickly surface relevant control objectives and risk statements based on the assessment responses. Accepting a recommendation automatically scopes that record to the AI Asset, and maps corresponding risks and controls to it.

**Note:** Review all AI-generated recommendations for accuracy.

The Control Objective Recommender skill generates the control objective recommendations. For more information about the skill, see [AI reviewer assist for risk assessments](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/ai-risk-management/ai-based-reviewer-assistant-for-assessments.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **AI Risk and Compliance Workspace**.

2.  Select the List icon \[Omitted image "icon-list.png"\].

3.  Open the AI asset.

4.  Select **AI assessments**.

5.  Open the AI assessment to be reviewed.

6.  On the Overview tab, select **Recommend**.

    The Recommendations tab opens. It organizes the AI recommendations into two tabs, Control objectives and Risk statements. If there’s no relevant data available, the recommendations page indicates that the request was completed and there are no recommendations currently available.

7.  To review the control objective recommendations, select the Control objectives tab.

    **Note:** A control objective that is already in scope through manual addition or automation rules, isn't recommended.

8.  Select a control objective recommendation card to review.

    Each card displays:

</table>9.  View the control objective in the privacy library or refresh your recommendations.

    |**Select the refresh icon \[Omitted image "refresh-icon.jpg"\] Alt text:.**|Refresh the recommendations to reflect the latest data.|

10. Accept or dismiss the recommendation.

    -   If the recommendation is relevant, select **Accept**, then select **Accept and add** to confirm.
    -   If the recommendation isn't relevant, select **Dismiss**, then select **Confirm**.
    Accepted control objectives are automatically added to the Applicable scope tab of the assessment task.

11. To change your decision on an accepted or dismissed recommendation, select the card, then select **Revert**.


## Result

All accepted AI recommendations are scoped to the asset and appear in the Applicable scope tab of the assessment task. The applicable scope also includes other control objectives and risk statements added manually and through smart assessment automation rules. Filter by AI-assisted in the Mode column to confirm if the accepted control objective recommendations appear in the list correctly. If you must add more records, you can manually add those to the tab.

## What to do next

Review the risk statement recommendations. For steps, see [Accept or dismiss AI-recommended risk statements](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/governance-risk-compliance/ai-risk-management/airc-accept-ai-recco-risk-stmt.md). When done, mark the assessment as complete.
