“AI is a powerful productivity driver for our clients and for IBM. We are transforming our enterprise operations, driving efficiency and cost savings with our Client Zero approach…”
IBMPublished by the organization itself (regulatory filing), no named author
IBM sells AI or agent tools or services, so it has a reason to publish flattering numbers about AI. The passage stays in the archive; read it with that in mind.
How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-11-07).
The filing itself is blocked to scripts (sec.gov returned the 'Undeclared Automated Tool' page, and Chrome and the archive failed too). I used the EDGAR full-text index. A quoted-phrase search for the full text before the ellipsis returned 0000051143-26-000095:ibm-20260930.htm, the cited 10-Q, alongside the Q1 and Q2 10-Qs. This is a token-level match only: punctuation and the section locator are unverified.
