Use of generative AI and other AI technologies presents risks and challenges due to the evolving nature of AI.
We utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies (“AI”), such as chatbots, assistants and automation agents, in our business operations, and we are exploring the other opportunities that AI could bring us.
The use of AI, particularly generative AI, and the developing regulatory landscape pose risks that could expose us to liability or adversely affect our business.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
