 our work or to penalize companies that use off-shore resources, which have been proposed from time to time in various jurisdictions, could adversely affect our results of operations. Such changes may result in contracts being terminated or work being transferred onshore, resulting in greater costs to us, and could have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future work from government clients. 

In addition, several jurisdictions where we operate have legislation regulating AI and non-personal data that may impose significant requirements on how we design, build and deploy AI and handle non-personal data for ourselves and our clients. For example, some jurisdictions have established extensive new standards for AI safety and security. Other jurisdictions may decide to adopt similar or more restrictive legislation that may render the use of such technologies challenging. These obligations may make it harder for us to conduct our business using AI, lead to regulatory fines or penalties, require us to change our solutions and services offerings or business practices, or prevent or limit our use of AI. If we cannot use AI, or that use is restricted, our business may be less efficient, or we may be at a competitive disadvantage.

Increasing focus on business responsibility matters has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, the adoption of legal and regulatory requirements related to environmental, social and governance matters. If new laws or regulations are more stringent than current legal or regulatory requirements, we may experience increased compliance burdens and costs to meet such obligations. In addition, stakeholders, including stockholders, customers, employees and federal, state and international authorities, may have differing and sometimes conflicting priorities and expectations regarding sustainability. Such divergent, sometimes conflicting views, increase the risk that any action or lack thereof by us on such matters will be perceived negatively by some stakeholders. For example, our selection of voluntary environmental disclosure frameworks and standards, and the interpretation or application of those frameworks and standards, may change from time to time or may not meet
