Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A in our 2022 10-K, except as described below.

We are subject to risks related to our use of generative AI, a new and emerging technology, which is in the early stages of commercial use.

In the second quarter of 2023, we entered into strategic partnerships with leading AI technology companies, enabling enhanced product and service capabilities in generative AI. This technology, which is a new and emerging technology in early stages of commercial use, presents a number of risks inherent in its use, including ethical considerations, public perception, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, privacy concerns and data security, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. As a result, we cannot predict future developments in AI and related impacts to our business and our industry. If we are unable to successfully adapt to new developments related to, and risks and challenges associated with AI, our business, results of operations and financial position could be negatively impacted.
