Summary
Jamie Dimon said people should stop being “breathless” about AI destroying jobs, arguing the technology’s workforce impact is still too uncertain to justify panic.
At the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit, the JPMorgan CEO said AI has already created many jobs at his company while trimming some roles, echoing his view that new technologies historically generate new work.
Dimon said the main risk is speed: middle-class jobs could disappear before workers are retrained if adoption moves too fast.
JPMorgan plans to redeploy, reskill and retrain employees rather than simply cut headcount, with Dimon saying AI should be used to deliver services faster and better.
