AI was mentioned narrowly on this call as an end-market demand driver for Nordson's Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS) segment, specifically as a catalyst for semiconductor complexity and infrastructure buildout that increases demand for Nordson's dispense, test, and inspection equipment. Management did not discuss any internal AI use, AI products sold directly, or AI-specific investments. References were brief and tied to customer demand signals in semiconductor and electronics end markets.
