Few people in the investing
industry could respond more succinctly than Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan (JPM),
on Monday when asked how significant artificial intelligence (AI) will be for
their company.
"While we do not know
the full effect or the precise rate at which AI will change our business — or
how it will affect society at large — we are completely convinced the
consequences will be extraordinary and possibly as transformational as some of
the major technological inventions of the past several hundred years,"
Dimon wrote in his shareholder letter for the year. "Think the printing
press, the steam engine, electricity, computing and the Internet, among
others."
Some analysts claim that artificial intelligence initiated the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." More accurately, the same idea is conveyed by Dimon's comparisons.This is wonderful news for JPMorgan.
The largest bank in the country has been able to
manage its extensive network of clients and business lines thanks to the
advantages of this technology. We can be certain that the company is not alone
because of how intertwined the global financial system is.
However, the AI trade that sent investors reeling in
the early months of 2023 was not a sudden understanding that large corporations
were, or would soon be, deploying AI technologies widely.
Instead, as Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley contended last
year, the introduction of OpenAI's ChatGPT gave consumers a concrete
representation of the abstraction of enterprise-level data management
technology.
AI was no longer "merely" assisting
developers or engineers in sifting through hundreds of commands or thousands of
lines of code to find the error, inefficiency, or problem.
We could now ask an interface to compose a song
about, say, a business journalist attempting to write a newsletter about AI on
deadline and Jamie Dimon's thoughts on the matter.
