MSCI Inc. removed its COVID-19 pandemic risk disclosure while adding a new risk focused on artificial intelligence development and use, reflecting a shift in the company's material risk landscape.

The overall risk factor structure remained relatively stable with 23 unchanged disclosures, indicating that operational and compliance risks remain central to MSCI's risk profile.
