Current report
Use of artificial intelligence in our operations could result in reputational or competitive harm and legal or regulatory liability.
Current report
We have incorporated certain artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into our operations. We may not be able to achieve the anticipated benefits of the AI initiatives, including expected costs savings. The use of AI also involves various risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business. The development and deployment of AI systems involve inherent technical complexities and uncertainties, and our AI systems may encounter unexpected technical difficulties, limitations or errors, including inaccuracies in data processing or flawed algorithms. In addition, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their operations and products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively.
Current report
Customers and other end-users who rely on our software products and services for applications that are integral to their businesses may have a greater sensitivity to product errors and security vulnerabilities than customers for software products generally. We utilize various generative AI solutions from our third-party providers as part of some of our software products. There are risks associated with the use of emerging technologies such as generative AI, including risks related to testing and validating the security and privacy mechanisms of the third-party providers, as well as risks related to implementing technical security controls to govern and mange this technology in a secure manner. If we were to experience a cybersecurity incident related to the integration of AI capabilities into our software product offerings, or if there are deficiencies or other failures of such AI solutions from our third-party providers, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. AI also presents various emerging legal, regulatory and ethical issues, and the incorporation of AI into our software products could require us to expend significant resources in developing, testing and maintaining our product offerings and may cause us to experience brand, reputational, or competitive harm, or incur legal liability.
Current report
Governments have passed and are likely to pass additional laws regulating generative AI. The introduction of AI technologies into our operations may result in new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, litigation, confidentiality or security risks or other complications that could adversely affect our business. The regulatory landscape governing AI technologies is evolving rapidly, and changes in laws, regulations or enforcement practices may impose new compliance requirements, restrict certain AI applications or increase our regulatory obligations, which could negatively impact our business.

Previous report
We may not complete the acquisition of CWT within the time frame we anticipate or at all.
Previous report
The completion of the acquisition of CWT is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals. The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions could delay the completion of the acquisition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. In addition, the terms and conditions of the required regulatory authorizations and consents for the acquisition that are granted, if any, may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of business after the transaction or materially delay the completion of the acquisition. A delay in completing the acquisition could cause us to realize some or all of the benefits later than we otherwise expect to realize them if the acquisition is successfully completed within the anticipated timeframe. This delay could result in additional transaction costs or in other negative effects associated with uncertainty about completion of the acquisition.
Previous report
The CWT acquisition may cause our financial results to differ from our expectations or the expectations of the investment community, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, and the acquisition may disrupt our current plans or operations.
Previous report
The success of the CWT acquisition will depend, in part, on ours ability to successfully integrate the business of CWT and realize the anticipated benefits, including the anticipated synergies. Difficulties in integrating CWT may result in the failure to realize anticipated synergies in the expected timeframe, in operational challenges, and in the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns as well as in unforeseen expenses associated with the acquisition, which may have an adverse impact on our financial results.
