AI was mentioned three times on this call, all briefly and without quantification. The CEO framed AI as a tailwind for TKO's IP value, arguing that live, scarce content cannot be replicated by algorithms. The CFO echoed this by positioning TKO's content as 'insulated from AI disruption.' The only operational AI reference was a passing mention by Mark Shapiro of 'AI dynamic pricing tools' used for live event ticketing, with no further detail provided.
