(Bloomberg) -- JPMorgan Chase & Co. is immersing every new banking employee in artificial-intelligence training, preparing them for a technology Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon has likened to the impact of the printing press and steam engine.
āThis year, everyone coming in here will have prompt engineering training to get them ready for the AI of the future,ā Mary Erdoes, who runs the asset- and wealth-management unit, said at the firm's investor day Monday.
Erdoes said AI is helping on two fronts in her division: time saving and revenue growth. The business is reducing time spent āhunting and pecking,ā she said, by enabling bankers to pull up certain information on potential investments while clients are on the phone. It's also getting rid of āno joy workā by eliminating repeatable, rote tasks. That has already saved some analysts two to four hours of their workdays, according to Erdoes.
JPMorgan sees the emerging technology as worth between $1 billion and $1.5 billion, President Daniel Pinto said at the event. AI will have a āvery, veryā large impact for the firm's 60,000 developers and 80,000 operations and call-center employees ā nearly half the company.
