Microchip added three AI-related risks in 2024 - covering product security vulnerabilities, proprietary information threats from AI use, and reputational/liability concerns around responsible technology deployment - while removing one foreign pension funding obligation risk. Fifteen existing risks underwent substantive modifications, with notable changes to disclosures on demand visibility and LTSA dependencies, government project compliance exposure, and geopolitical policy impacts. The net effect increased the risk factor count from 49 to 51 items, reflecting the company's growing focus on artificial intelligence governance alongside traditional operational and regulatory challenges.
