What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 28% at the end of 2027, 34% at the end of 2028, 36% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 36% desk work, 16% people work and 48% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 63% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 29% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

What the filing says about AI

9 sentences in the filing name AI. The filing names AI as a demand driver: its large-megawatt diesel generators serve the data center market, which it expects to grow with the mass adoption of artificial intelligence, and it expects power demand to accelerate with AI and data center energy requirements.

• “The recent introduction of our large-megawatt diesel generator line-up has substantially increased our served addressable market, allowing us to participate in the supply-constrained data center market which is expected to grow significantly over the coming years due to the mass adoption of artificial intelligence.”
• “Those mega-trends and growth themes are as follows: Key Mega-Trends: ● Lower power quality continuing to drive demand for backup power solutions: o More frequent, severe, and volatile weather impacting an aging grid, causing increased power outage activity. o Increasing deployment of intermittent renewable generation sources coupled with accelerating electricity demand trends driving supply/dem...”
• “At the same time, power demand is expected to meaningfully accelerate due to (i) the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence and related data center energy requirements, (ii) the re-industrialization of North America, and (iii) the electrification of a wide range of consumer and commercial products, including transportation, HVAC systems, and other major appliances.”
• “Substantial capital investments in new data centers and accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence.”
• “As a result of the development of artificial intelligence and the expected benefits of this technology, there is significant capital investment being made to build out data center infrastructure, which is expected to further accelerate adoption of artificial intelligence capabilities.”
