+The **GenAI Settings** page has the following settings:
+
+- **Default AI Connector**: Use this setting to specify which connector is selected by default. This affects all AI-powered features, not just AI Assistant. 
+- **Disallow all other connectors**: Enable this setting to prevent connectors other than the default connector specified above from being used in your space. This affects all AI-powered features, not just AI Assistant.

 ## Your data and AI Assistant [data-information]
 
 Elastic does not store or examine prompts or results used by AI Assistant, or use this data for model training. This includes anything you send the model, such as alert or event data, detection rule configurations, queries, and prompts. However, any data you provide to AI Assistant will be processed by the third-party large language model (LLM) provider you connected to as part of AI Assistant setup.
