Furthermore, the Transaction exposes us to additional cybersecurity risks, which we expect to continue until the integration of Discover is completed. These risks include the possibility of previously undetected cybersecurity threats in Discover's operations, systems and networks, as well as risks related to the cybersecurity posture of Discover and its third-party service providers. The materialization of such risks could lead to the degradation or disruption of our operations and services; unauthorized access; breach of confidentiality; and misuse or modification of systems, networks and data. Additionally, in connection with the integration of Discover, failures or difficulties in retaining new personnel, including those with access to our confidential or sensitive information (including personal information), and other difficulties in the organizational,

While we continuously update our policies, programs, processes and risk management practices, many of our data management, modeling, AI, aggregation and implementation processes are manual. They may be subject to human error, data limitations, process delays or system failure. If any of our employees, contractors, third-party service providers or other third parties with which we do business use any third-party AI solutions in connection with our business, it may lead to the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure or incorporation of our sensitive and confidential information, including personal information, into third-party systems or publicly available or third-party training sets, which may impact our ability to realize the benefit of our intellectual property or other proprietary rights in such information. Failure to manage data effectively and to aggregate data in an accurate and timely manner may limit our ability to manage current and emerging risks; to produce accurate financial, regulatory and operational reporting; and to manage changing business needs. If our Framework is ineffective, we could suffer unexpected losses, which could materially adversely affect our results of operation or financial condition.

The regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful, emerging technologies. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, privacy, data protection and data security, consumer protection, competition and equal opportunity laws and regulations. They are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations.

Various U.S. governmental and regulatory agencies continue to review AI. Several U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions are applying (or are considering applying) their platform moderation, privacy, data protection, and data security laws and regulations to AI. They are also considering general legal frameworks for AI. In particular, several states, including Colorado and California, have passed or are continuing to propose laws and regulations that govern various facets and uses of AI.

Legal frameworks governing such autonomous agents remain nascent, with limited direct guidance, and the interplay between laws and regulations relating to, among other things, fraud, payments, privacy, data protection, data security and AI may create uncertainty around compliance obligations and potential liability exposure as more participants (including sellers, fintechs, AI developers and enablers) enter the agentic commerce ecosystem.

•AI system failures, inappropriate use of AI systems, lack of transparency in AI systems, or inaccurate or biased output from AI systems resulting from rapid deployment, insufficient testing, erroneous data, ineffective model design or insufficient controls, which could disrupt operations, cause erroneous transactions, compromise data privacy, infringe on intellectual property, harm clients and customers, or impair JPMorganChase’s ability to make sound business decisions

evolving, both in the U.S. and internationally, and includes regulatory schemes targeted specifically at AI as well as new and existing provisions in intellectual property, privacy, cybersecurity, consumer protection, employment and other laws applicable to the use of AI and changes in interpretation of the foregoing. These evolving laws and regulations could require changes in our implementation of AI technology and increase our compliance costs and the risk of non-compliance. AI models, particularly generative AI models, may, and often do, produce output or take action that is incorrect, that result in the release of personal, confidential or proprietary information, that reflect or introduce discrimination, errors or biases included in the data on which they are trained or prompts or algorithms on which they rely, that infringe on the intellectual property rights of others or that is otherwise harmful. In addition, the complexity of many AI models makes it challenging to understand why they are generating particular outputs. This limited transparency increases the challenges associated with assessing the proper operation of AI models, understanding and monitoring the capabilities of the AI models, reducing erroneous output, eliminating bias and complying with applicable laws and regulations, including those that require documentation or explanation of the basis on which decisions are made. Additionally, if we do not have sufficient rights to use AI models, the data on which they are trained or prompts or algorithms on which they rely or the output thereof, we could also incur liability through the violation of applicable laws and regulations, third-party intellectual property, privacy or other rights or contracts to which we are a party.

Regulatory and other legal frameworks surrounding AI continue to evolve and remain uncertain. If we do not have sufficient rights to use models, prompts, algorithms, and datasets on which our AI technologies rely or the related decisions, predictions, analysis, or other output, we could incur significant damages, substantial fees, deprivation of access, or considerable expense through a violation of applicable law, third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights, or other violations. New or changing statutes, regulations, or industry standards and practices may increase costs, restrict use cases, or require significant changes to our deployment or our existing systems and controls. If we fail to appropriately respond to changes within the AI landscape, including changing public sentiment, we could face legal, regulatory, or brand and stakeholder risk that may negatively impact our business, operations, financial results, financial condition, or reputation. In addition, the use of AI by companies has resulted in, and may in the future result in, cybersecurity breaches, attacks, and other similar incidents as well as data privacy violations.
