Artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine-learning technology continue to advance rapidly, presenting both opportunities and risks. If we cannot incorporate these rapidly advancing technologies as quickly or effectively as other companies, our competitive position and business results may suffer. Incorporation of these new technologies into our processes may result in new or expanded risks, including risks related to regulatory compliance, litigation, ethical concerns, confidentiality or cybersecurity, among other factors that could potentially adversely impact our business, reputation and financial results. The use of AI in the development of our products and services could increase the risk of loss or theft of our intellectual property and could subject us to incremental risks related to data privacy and cybersecurity. The use of AI can lead to unintended consequences, including generating content that appears correct but is factually inaccurate, misleading or otherwise flawed, or that results in unintended biases and discriminatory outcomes, which could harm our stakeholders, our reputation and our business. Additionally, we face risks of competitive disadvantage if our competitors are able to more effectively use AI to create products or services at a lower cost or higher quality compared to PPG’s competing products or services.
