What the filing says about AI
17 sentences in the filing name AI. Seventeen sentences: some product sales are tied to AI-related capital spending and data center infrastructure, whose volatility is a risk factor, and generative AI is named among technologies that introduce new attack vectors.
- “Some of our product sales are tied to artificial intelligence ("AI")-related capital expenditures and data center infrastructure.”
- “Several factors could result in volatility in AI-related spending, including constraints related to electricity generation and delivery, overbuilt capacity, new AI-focused legal regulations, and a consolidation of competing independent technologies.”
- “New technologies, including generative AI, quantum computing, new uses of QR codes and other innovations in digital communications, introduce new attack vectors, and new potential compromise scenarios, which malicious adversaries can exploit.”
- “Issues in the development and use of AI may result in reputational harm or liability, and failure to introduce new and innovative products that have AI capabilities could put us at a competitive disadvantage.”
- “We currently incorporate machine learning and AI capabilities into certain of our products and solutions and may seek to expand the use of AI in our offerings in the future.”

- An estimated 19% now and 50% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Teledyne Technologies Incorporated's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster.

- 17 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 13, 13 and 17 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.
