Potential impact of artificial intelligence and quantum computing on our operations and competitiveness.
Sees AI as a riskDetail: GeneralSame as last year
The rapid development and implementation of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence ("AI") and quantum computing, present both opportunities and risks to our business. AI technologies are being increasingly adopted across the financial services industry to enhance operational efficiencies, optimize decision-making, and improve customer experience. Similarly, quantum computing, though still in early stages, has the potential to revolutionize areas such as data encryption, portfolio optimization, and risk modeling. However, the pace at which competitors and other financial institutions adopt these technologies may create challenges for our ability to remain competitive. For instance, if we are unable to effectively implement or keep pace with advancements in AI and quantum computing, we may experience a competitive disadvantage, which could result in decreased market share, reduced profitability, and strained customer relationships. Furthermore, the integration of these technologies into banking operations may require significant investments in infrastructure, talent acquisition, and cybersecurity measures, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance and operations.
Sees AI as a riskDetail: GeneralSame as last year
In addition to competitive risks, there is also the potential for AI and quantum computing to be misused, including by malicious actors seeking to exploit these technologies for fraudulent activities. As a result, our systems could be targeted for exploitation by such actors, leading to risks such as unauthorized transactions, identity theft, and other forms of financial fraud. Similarly, quantum computing, when it matures, could potentially undermine the security of current encryption methods, exposing us and our customers to heightened cybersecurity risks. While we are actively monitoring and investing in security measures to address these emerging threats, there is no guarantee that we will be able to prevent all potential risks associated with the misuse of these technologies.

As a result, the risks associated with the rapid evolution of AI and quantum computing may have an adverse effect on our ability to compete effectively, as well as expose us to new forms of fraud and cybersecurity threats, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
