IBM completed the Apptio acquisition ($4.6B) in this period, which is primarily IT financial management -- not AI. Seven acquisitions totaling $5,033M were completed in the first 9 months of FY2023. While IBM began discussing AI momentum on earnings calls, the SEC filing itself contains no AI revenue quantification. watsonx revenue is beginning to ramp within Software segment. Conservative estimate: ~$443M AI revenue (Watson legacy + early watsonx + AI consulting). $443M / $14,752M = 3.0%.
