The numbers tell one story.
ServiceNow’s Autonomous Workforce is a major expansion of its AI capabilities, with AI specialists that can complete entire business processes without human intervention. The company’s AI Control Tower governance platform is now included across every product and package on its platform. ServiceNow’s security and risk division crossed $1 billion in annual contract value last year and is getting a major upgrade with the launch of Autonomous Security & Risk.
