AI was mentioned only once on this call, in passing, by an analyst (Andrew Weisel of Scotiabank) who asked whether cost savings were 'related to AI and automation.' Management's response did not confirm or elaborate on AI specifically, instead attributing cost reductions to data analytics, risk-based decision-making, and process improvements without using the term 'AI.' There was no substantive AI commentary from management in either prepared remarks or Q&A.
