Enable or disable Collibra AI for asset description recommendations

Collibra AI helps you accelerate the creation of descriptions for your assets in Collibra, making your data easier to understand.

• Collibra AI can help you to create a description for a Column, Table, Database View, or Data Set asset.
• In Table assets, Collibra AI can also help you to create descriptions for all columns in the table in a single action.

Important Enabling Collibra AI to generate descriptions does not automatically change or impact existing descriptions. Existing descriptions are updated only if someone removes a description manually, then uses the AI feature to generate a new suggestion, and approves it.

Prerequisites

You have the ADMIN or SUPER role in Collibra Console.
You have a global role that has the Product Rights > System administration global permission.
The Services Configuration tab is available in the Collibra settings.
