The Rise of Artificial Intelligence at JPMorgan

America's banks have been using artificial intelligence to spot fraud for years. JPMorgan Chase, the country's biggest bank, is now making a bigger bet on AI, working to put it at the center of how its 300,000 employees work.
In the past year, JPMorgan rolled out a tool it calls LLM Suite for most of its employees that allows them to use generative artificial intelligence from OpenAI and others. It's also adding generative AI in call centers for agents that deal with Chase Bank customers.
Teresa Heitsenrether, JPMorgan's chief data and analytics officer, was tapped to oversee the firm's AI strategy in 2023. She isn't a software engineer or a technologist. But after more than 20 years running key businesses at JPMorgan, she was able to identify where the firm can best use technology to boost productivity—and had earned the trust of the company's leaders.
'When the generative AI wave started to really take off, we wanted to make sure that there was somebody really focused on this as a full-time job at [CEO] Jamie Dimon's table because of the strategic importance that we see for the future of the firm,' she says.

ChatGPT's Sam Altman sends strong 2-word message on the future

As the AI boom continues to take over both the tech industry and the news cycle, there's one thing that's for sure: it's scaring a lot of people. AI is a technically complex topic that can be difficult to explain to the average person, but there's one sentiment that isn't hard to explain at all: the concept that AI might take your job. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter So rather than try to understand AI's capabilities, or why every major tech company from Meta to Google to Nvidia is pouring billions of dollars into developing it, most people are going to zero in on the part that's personally applicable to them.

Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said in a recent tweet, "History shows that new technologies create many more jobs than they displace. We do not think that this time will be different." OpenAI's Sam Altman is easily the AI movement's biggest figurehead, thanks to ChatGPT's runaway success. The company hit three million paid ChatGPT subscribers as of June. This proves that people are flocking to it in droves - and away from search engines. Research firm Gartner has even predicted that by 2026, traditional search engine volume will drop 25%. Now Altman has penned a blog post addressing the topic of AI and how it's changing our world. It's a refreshing take that, for once, will give you some hope about the future of your career. Altman's post emphasizes that compared to any time that has come before, the 2030s can be described with two powerful words: "wildly different." Altman offers a reality check, saying, "We are past the event horizon; the takeoff has started. Humanity is close to building digital superintelligence, and at least so far, it's much less weird than it seems like it should be." "We do not know how far beyond human-level intelligence we can go, but we are about to find out," he continued.

Altman also says ChatGPT is "already more powerful than any human who has ever lived," a phrase that may feel threatening to some, considering that LLMs are not human to begin with. But Altman sees even more ahead, predicting that AI will significantly mold our future.

These two have been the fundamental limiters on human progress for a long time; with abundant intelligence and energy (and good governance), we can theoretically have anything else." Altman also acknowledged that, yes, many jobs will go away as AI continues to evolve, but that won't be the end of the story. "The rate of technological progress will keep accelerating, and it will continue to be the case that people are capable of adapting to almost anything," he says. "There will be very hard parts like whole classes of jobs going away, but on the other hand, the world will be getting so much richer so quickly that we'll be able to seriously entertain new policy ideas we never could before. We probably won't adopt a new social contract all at once, but when we look back in a few decades, the gradual changes will have amounted to something big." Altman also points out a key asset of humanity that AI cannot duplicate, saying, "People have a long-term important and curious advantage over AI: we are hard-wired to care about other people and what they think and do, and we don't care very much about machines."

‘This is coming for everyone': A new kind of AI bot takes over the web

People are replacing Google search with artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, a major shift that has unleashed a new kind of bot loose on the web. To offer users a tidy AI summary instead of Google's '10 blue links,' companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have started sending out bots to retrieve and recap content in real time. They are scraping webpages and loading relevant content into the AI's memory and 'reading' far more content than a human ever would.
