AI was discussed primarily as a demand driver for Iron Mountain's data center and digital solutions businesses, rather than as an internal productivity tool. Management highlighted AI-powered features in their DXP digital solutions platform, referenced a prior Google Partner of the Year Award for AI and machine learning, and noted hyperscaler AI inference and cloud capacity buildout as a key tailwind for data center leasing. Quantification of AI-specific revenue was not provided; AI was embedded within broader segment growth narratives.
