"I'm not predicting [it] can be a problem. I'm simply saying now's the time to start thinking about what you do if it does. Though Dimon's remarks were characteristically blunt, he iterated, JPMorgan wasn't going to put its head in the sand when it comes to AI transformation. To the contrary, he said, the bank is deploying AI aggressively and already has an LLM model that 150,000 people use every week."
"But thanks to the productivity gains brought on by AI, it's likely JPMorgan will employ fewer people in the next five years, Dimon said last month at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While Dimon worries about how society will react to an exodus of AI-displaced employees, he is making sure JPMorgan isn't caught off guard."
"We have displaced people from AI, and we offer them other jobs. They are usually well-trained and highly talented, very good at things. The broader concern, though, is what happens if society gets caught off guard by this disruption."
"Autonomous vehicles could, in theory, replace the two million commercial truck drivers in the U.S. overnight, saving lives, cutting fuel costs, and reducing wear on highways. But, Dimon said, the benefits don't outweigh the broader costs associated with eliminating these jobs all at once."
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon urges proactive preparation for AI-related job losses before they materialize. While the bank aggressively deploys AI technology, including an LLM model used by 150,000 employees weekly, Dimon acknowledges JPMorgan will likely employ fewer people within five years due to productivity gains. The bank implements redeployment programs to transition displaced workers to other roles. Dimon warns that society risks being caught unprepared for mass job displacement, illustrating concerns with autonomous vehicles potentially replacing two million U.S. truck drivers overnight. He emphasizes that while AI offers significant benefits, sudden large-scale job elimination creates broader societal costs that require advance planning and mitigation strategies.
