AI was mentioned only peripherally on this call, appearing in two narrow contexts: as a demand driver for semiconductor capital equipment (a customer of AMETEK's Abaco computing business) and as a driver of data center power simulation demand (a customer of AMETEK's RTDS Technologies business). Management did not discuss AI as a strategic initiative, internal productivity tool, or product investment. AI references were entirely framed as customer-side demand signals benefiting specific AMETEK product lines.
