What the filing says about AI
9 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names its own AI tools, Co.ai for total loss determination and salvage valuation using machine learning and computer vision and IntelliSeller for minimum bid values and re-auction timing, and generative AI among the tools of threat actors.
- “Salvage Estimation Services We offer Co.ai, a proprietary suite of total loss determination and valuation tools that leverage machine learning and computer vision to assist sellers in the vehicle claims evaluation process by providing online salvage value estimates, which helps sellers determine whether to repair a vehicle or deem it a total loss.”
- “Using machine learning, IntelliSeller optimizes the utilization of our vehicle and sales data to determine when to establish minimum bid values and suggest when to re-auction a unit to ensure optimal returns while minimizing cycle time.”
- “For example, as AI technologies, including generative AI models, develop rapidly, threat actors are using these technologies to create new sophisticated attack methods that are increasingly automated, targeted, coordinated, sophisticated, and more difficult to defend against and mitigate the impacts of.”
- “In addition, as we increasingly develop, deploy and incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning into our products, services, and internal tools, the intellectual property rights in the code, models, content, or other outputs generated with the assistance of these technologies may be uncertain, difficult to protect, or unavailable, and we may not own or be able to prevent others fro...”
- “Intellectual property laws governing the protectability and ownership of works and inventions created with the assistance of 24 Table of Contents artificial intelligence are evolving and may not afford us adequate protection, which could increase our reliance on trade secret protection and diminish the value of, or our ability to protect, our proprietary technologies.”
