 a business combination with a company that relies on, or is heavily involved in the development or application of, artificial intelligence (“AI”) we may face risks in and challenges to data integrity and security, regulatory risks, technical and operational risks. The AI landscape is highly competitive, and technological advancements can rapidly alter the competitive environment. New entrants or competitors may develop superior AI systems, making it difficult for a target business to maintain a competitive advantage.

Potential Escalation of Tariffs

Given the potential for the further escalation of tariffs under policies enacted during the Trump administration and related potential risks and uncertainties related to trade policy changes, we may face potential risks and uncertainties related to target businesses and long-term prospects of a business combination. Such tariffs, or the threat thereof, may deter potential target companies from pursuing an initial business combination with us.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity, such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”) or ultimately prohibited.

Our initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements by governmental entities or ultimately prohibited. For example, CFIUS has authority to review direct or indirect foreign investments in U.S. companies. Among other things, CFIUS is empowered to require certain foreign investors to make mandatory filings, to charge filing fees related to such filings, and to self-initiate national security reviews of foreign direct and indirect investments in U.S. companies if the parties to that investment choose not to file voluntarily. In the case that CFIUS determines an investment to be a threat to national security, CFIUS has the power to unwind or place restrictions on the investment. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on — among other factors — the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. While our sponsor is a limited liability company formed in Delaware and is not controlled by, nor does it have substantial ties with, a non-U.S. person, investments that result in “control” of a U.S. business by a foreign person are always subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. CFIUS’s expanded jurisdiction under the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 and implementing regulations that became effective on February 13, 2020 further includes investments that do not result in control of a U.S
