We have a robust set of metrics we track to measure the performance of the model and resulting customer experience. We track the feature’s SLA to make sure it's always available to you. We track the telemetry of thumbs up and thumbs down gestures present in the UI experience for each AI output that you can submit feedback for.
You can provide feedback on this functionality when the results are biased or inappropriate. We track this feedback to ensure that AI feature is compliant, appropriate, and bias-free.
