These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. ​ ​ ​ ​ 19 ​ Risks Related to Artificial Intelligence Increased usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies could expose us to operational, safety, cybersecurity, legal and reputational risks and could adversely affect our ability to compete, our operating results and our cash flows.
Added
In an asset- and labor-intensive oilfield services business with geographically dispersed field operations, AI is often used (or is embedded in third-party software platforms we use) to support dispatch and logistics, equipment maintenance planning, inventory and procurement, demand forecasting, pricing and other commercial decision-making, safety and compliance monitoring, cybersecurity threat detection, and administrative functions.
Added
Competitors may deploy AI-enabled tools more quickly or effectively than we do, improving their cost structure, responsiveness and utilization and increasing competitive pressure. Conversely, if we do not successfully deploy and govern AI, we may not achieve anticipated improvements in operating efficiency or customer service.
Added
Any of these factors could adversely affect our ability to maintain utilization and pricing, could increase costs, and could contribute to greater volatility in our margins and cash flows, particularly during periods of lower customer activity levels.
Added
The use of AI technologies is evolving rapidly, and the risks associated with these technologies are difficult to predict and may increase over time. AI may also increase cybersecurity and confidentiality risks.
Added
We have enhanced our security measures, applied a risk-based approach, and collaborated with reliable partners to safeguard data and establish clear ownership rights; however, there is no guarantee that our security measures will protect us against all material risks. We monitor the evolving AI legal landscape, adapting to new regulations to ensure compliance, support innovation, and manage risks.
Added
The use of generative AI tools may increase the risk that confidential or proprietary information is inadvertently disclosed or incorporated into third-party systems. If such information is exposed, misused, or becomes subject to unclear ownership or license terms, we could incur remediation costs, contractual liabilities, regulatory penalties and reputational harm.
Added
Future AI-related regulations could also affect us even if our internal use remains limited. Governments may enact rules governing automated decision-making, data usage, safety testing, workforce impacts, or transparency requirements applicable to manufacturers or their supply chains.
Added
Compliance with such regulations could require changes to the software, systems, or data processes we use, and non-compliance—whether by us or a third-party vendor—could expose us to penalties or reputational harm.
