Appearing in a recent Bloomberg TV interview, the chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., Jamie Dimon, examined artificial intelligence (AI) and outlined how his bank is deploying the technology across a wide range of functions. Dimon points to the potential gains AI may bring while also acknowledging a key concern: entire segments of work could contract simultaneously, rather than easing lower over time.

“A lot of cancers will be cured, a lot of diseases will be cured. Food would be safer, [and] cars would be safer. It will be a wonderful thing.”
“The government should start thinking about how we can help get the benefits of AI and diminish the negatives,” Dimon remarked during the interview. “And that would basically be retraining, relocation, how you use high schools, your colleges, your community colleges, you know, to reskill, but even people who are 40 or 50. And it’s all doable, if we think about how we’re gonna prepare for it,” he added.
While people debate each side, Dimon’s position is clear: the gains are real, the risks are real, and waiting is not a plan. The window to prepare for governments, companies, and workers is open now. Whether they use it is another matter.
