We or our third-party vendors, clients or counterparties have developed, developed and may continue to develop or incorporate AI technology in certain business processes, services or products. The development and use of AI present a number of risks and challenges to our business. The legal and regulatory environment relating to AI is uncertain and rapidly evolving, in the U.S., E.U., and internationally, and includes regulation targeted specifically at AI technology, including the EU AI Act, portions of which have already come into force with more to follow this year and in future years, as well as provisions in intellectual property, privacy, consumer protection, employment and other laws applicable to the use of AI. Global divergence in AI regulations and evolving standards could create conflicting requirements across jurisdictions, increase compliance costs, and heighten enforcement risk. These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in our implementation of AI technology, increase our compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance, and restrict or impede our ability to develop, adopt and deploy AI technologies efficiently and effectively. If not appropriately governed, managed and controlled, AI models, particularly generative AI models, may produce output or take action that is incorrect or outdated, that result in the release of personal, confidential or proprietary information, that reflect biases included in the data on which they are trained or introduced during the training or fine tuning process, that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, or that is otherwise harmful. In addition, the The complexity and limited transparency of many AI models makes make it challenging to understand why they are generating generate particular outputs. outputs, increasing governance and monitoring risks. Use of third-party AI models may introduce additional risk, as we may have limited visibility into their training data, validation processes, and controls to prevent unauthorized or harmful content. This limited transparency increases results in potential risks arising from the challenges inclusion of any unauthorized material in the training data for their models, and the effectiveness of the steps these third parties have taken to limit the risks associated with assessing the proper operation output of their models, matters over which we may have limited visibility. Further, AI tools, whether embedded in third party systems or in tools that we develop, that are used to support regulated activities such as investment decision making and client reporting present unique risks, including errors in algorithms or assumptions, data quality issues, and potential bias, that could adversely affect investment performance and increase business and compliance risks. Any of these risks could expose us to liability or adverse legal or regulatory consequences and harm our reputation and the public perception of our business or the effectiveness of our security measures. In addition to our use of AI technology, understanding technologies, we are exposed to risks arising from the use of AI technologies by bad actors to commit fraud and monitoring the capabilities misappropriate funds and to facilitate cyberattacks. Generative AI may be exploited to create sophisticated phishing schemes, ransomware attacks, or other cyber threats, which could result in financial losses, liquidity outflows, or systemic market disruptions. If our use of the AI technology developed by third parties and, to that extent, are dependent becomes controversial, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability.
