Security and privacy
The translation assistant aligns with the following principles:
- Original text and translations are not used to train Esri or third-party AI models.
- Original text and translations are not used to improve an Esri or third-party product or service.
- Prompts are not stored or shared unless you give explicit permission, such as when you provide feedback about the assistant.
- Original text and translations are not used to improve the assistant for your own use.
AI transparency cards are available with more security and privacy details.
Limitations and bias
An ArcGIS Online organizational account is required to access the translation assistant. Other account types, such as public accounts, are not currently supported.
Suggestions generated using AI can be misleading or inaccurate. To avoid potentially reinforcing any unintentional biases in the AI models used by  the translation assistant, human judgment should be applied to the assistant's outputs and translated text should be reviewed for correctness.
