Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, joins ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ to discuss a trillion-dollar initiative to bring critical industry back to America, economic tensions with China, his view on the government shutdown and more.
Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, offered an optimistic view on artificial intelligence (AI), predicting that the technology will not “dramatically reduce” the number of jobs over the next year – provided it is properly regulated.
Before answering the question directly, Dimon prefaced his answer by noting that jobs and wages had been weakening even before the rise of widespread AI adoption, and that technology is not to blame for that trend.

“Look, I don’t think AI will dramatically reduce jobs like it will incredibly next year. And for the most part, AI will do great things for humanity, like tractors did, like fertilizer did, like vaccines did — it will save lives,” Dimon said.
“Now of course it has to be properly regulated,” he added. “There are downsides to AI, just like there are airplanes, pharmaceuticals and cars. All things are used by bad people. So assuming the government has figured out a way around AI… but it will eliminate jobs. That doesn’t mean people won’t have other jobs.”

“My advice to people would be to think critically, learn skills, learn your EQ, learn how to be good in meetings, how to communicate, how to write. You’ll have plenty of jobs and if it happens too quickly for society, which is possible, we won’t be able to assimilate all those people that quickly,” Dimon said.
According to Dimon, if the government and large companies are initially unable to make widespread AI adoption work for the public, it will be up to those parties to come up with a plan to phase in the technology “in a way that won’t harm many people.”

The CEO reiterated that while some jobs may be lost to AI, the technology can be used to “reskill people, redeploy people” and provide income support or even early retirement.
“The next job may be a better job, but they have to learn how to do that job,” he added, noting again that people with specialized skills will always be valuable.
Jamie Dimon predicted that skills such as construction will be critical in building the infrastructure needed for AI.
“It will probably create more jobs overall in the short term,” he added.
