About Artificial Intelligence (AI) Administration

Qualtrics offers a variety of artificial intelligence (AI) features for you to use. Brand Administrators can turn features involving third-party generative models on or off for their entire organization, giving you autonomy over your data. You even have the freedom to decide whether new third-party generative AI features are enabled by default for your organization.

Qtip: Using these settings, you can still limit which individual users have access to these AI features by default and which do not.

Qtip: Qualtrics uses AWS or Azure Guardrail for all first-party and third-party features.

Qtip: This support page only covers Qualtrics Platform features. If you’re interested in AI in Discover, see this page.

Changing Your Organization’s Third-Party AI Settings

Once applied, these changes will apply to your entire organization of Qualtrics users.

Go to the Admin page.
Go to Organization Settings.
Select Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Choose whether or not to activate Automatically enable new AI features that utilize third party processors. This is disabled by default, and no third-party AI features are enabled until turned on by a Brand Administrator.
  • Enabled: As Qualtrics creates new features using third party AI processors, these features will be available to your users.
  • Disabled: As Qualtrics creates new features using third party AI processors, these features will be disabled to your users.
    Qtip: Only generative AI features using third-party subprocessors are affected.
    Qtip: These settings only affect new Qualtrics features as they are released, not existing ones. You can individually enable / disable specific features as needed.
Choose the third party AI feature to enable for your organization. See a full list of features here.
Qtip: You can select all features at once.
Qtip: The permission on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) page matches the permission name used in the rest of the admin pages.
Click Apply.
Once a feature is enabled for the organization, users with the permission enabled will have access. Make sure you enable the permission for users you want to have these features, and disable the permissions for users whose access you need to restrict.
Qtip: You can edit individual user permissions, or a user type to affect a larger group of users all at the same time.
Qtip: Whether AI permissions are enabled or disabled by default varies by user type. For example, for Standard Users, only Research Hub Summarization is enabled by default; other AI permissions are usually disabled. If there are AI permissions you want to restrict, it is best to create custom user types to ensure the results you want.

Attention: *The Experience Agents feature utilizes AI Inference Zones. This means that the data processing (or “inference”) may occur at a different data center within a broader geographic region associated with your Qualtrics data center, such as North America, Europe, or Asia Pacific. This approach provides you with the most capable and performant models and ensures greater availability and capacity for these services.

List of First-Party Generative AI Features

This is a list of AI features using generative models Qualtrics developed itself. These AI features do not process your data anywhere other than Qualtrics.

These features are not controlled by organization settings. However, you can still adjust user type or individual user permissions for them.

List of Third-Party Extensions

Third-party extensions let you link your Qualtrics account to other software. There are a few extensions with generative AI that use third-party subprocessors.

These features are not controlled by organization settings. However, you can still adjust who has access to these features using the Extensions page of Admin. By default, only users you explicitly give access to will be able to use the third-party extensions.

Qtip: For more details on the subprocessors being used, see each  respective feature’s support page.
