What the filing says about AI
8 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI-enabled capabilities in its spend management solution, machine learning models in its credit review alongside judgmental underwriting, and AI among the heightened threats to its systems.

- “We must respond to the technological advances offered by our competitors, including the use of artificial intelligence and the requirements of regulators and our customers and partners, in order to maintain and improve upon our competitive position and fulfill contractual obligations.”
- “Artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning and generative AI, are being rapidly adopted across the payments and enterprise software industries to improve automation, analytics, fraud detection, customer support and decision- making.”

Questions about this company
- How much of Corpay, Inc.'s working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 40% now and 66% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Corpay, Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.

- 11,800 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states. About 36% in the U.S.

- Read from its annual report as a blend of 1 industry staffing pattern, the largest Credit Intermediation and Related Activities (5221 and 5223 only); by those patterns the work is about 68% desk work, 23% people work and 9% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.

- 8 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 2, 3 and 8 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
