However, as with most emerging technologies, AI comes with its own set of risks and challenges that could affect its adoption and our business. AI algorithms may be flawed, and the data used could be incomplete or biased. Inappropriate or controversial data practices, by us or by others, could limit the acceptance of our AI-enhanced products and content. Certain AI applications could trigger ethical issues. Should our AI-related offerings become controversial due to their effects on human rights, privacy, employment, or other social matters, we risk reputational harm or legal repercussions. In addition, uncertainties regarding the development and application of AI technology present a potential risk. There remains the possibility that AI technology may not progress as anticipated or deliver expected benefits, which could limit the acceptance and popularity of our AI- related offerings.

If we are unable to secure the needed permissions or licenses for using AI tools-whether because we cannot identify the rights holder or for any other reason-we might infringe on others’ rights which could lead to monetary claims, fines, penalties, or less content for our users.

According to the Deep Synthesis Provisions, no organization or individual may use deep synthesis services to produce, reproduce, release or disseminate information prohibited by laws and administrative regulations, or to engage in activities that endanger national security and interests, damage the national image, infringe upon social public interests, disrupt the economic and social order or undermine the legitimate rights and interests of others. Specifically, the providers of deep synthesis services shall, among other things, establish and maintain management systems for algorithmic mechanism review, data security and personal information protection. On July 10, 2023, seven governmental authorities including the CAC published the Provisional Measures on AI-
