“Your children are going to live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology,” Dimon told Bloomberg TV on Monday (2 Oct). “And literally they’ll probably be working three-and-a-half days a week.”
Dimon’s bullish view on AI means that the CEO views the technology as “critical to our company’s future success.”
The New York-based firm advertised for more than 3,500 related roles between February and April, according to data from consultancy Evident.
