We operate in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven environment, and if we do not timely identify, prioritize, develop, and successfully integrate new or enhanced technologies into our operations, our service quality, efficiency, and competitiveness could suffer. Technology initiatives can be complex and costly, with risks of delays, defects, and training hurdles. Anticipated benefits from these initiatives may not be realized on the expected timeline or at all. In addition, competitors may introduce and scale new technologies more quickly or effectively than we do, which could diminish our competitive position, compress margins, and result in lost business opportunities. The rapid evolution and adoption of artificial intelligence(AI) and any efforts we may make to incorporate it into our business may amplify cyber, legal, and operational risks. AI adoption may introduce or amplify risks, including inaccurate or biased outputs that are difficult to detect, governance and model-risk challenges, privacy and intellectual property concerns, and evolving legal disclosure obligations. AI can also increase cybersecurity exposure as threat actors leverage AI to enhance social-engineering and intrusion techniques. Implementing and maintaining AI capabilities can be complex and costly, anticipated benefits may not be realized and expected timelines or at all, and failures could harm our operations, reputation, results of operations, and financial condition.
