JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon joins “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss the multitrillion-dollar effort to bring critical industries back to the United States, economic tensions with China, his views on the government shutdown and more.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon offered an optimistic outlook on artificial intelligence (AI), predicting that the technology will not “drastically reduce” jobs over the next year if properly regulated.
Dimon was asked by Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” what Americans should do to prepare for this “new revolution going on in AI,” especially considering the technology is “creating efficiencies that are eliminating jobs.”
Before answering the question directly, Dimon said that employment and wages were depressed even before AI became widespread, and that the technology is not to blame for the trend.

“I don't think AI will incredibly dramatically reduce jobs next year. And for the most part, it's going to do great things for humanity like tractors did, like fertilizer did, like vaccines did. It's going to save lives,” Dimon said.
“Of course, we need to regulate it properly going forward,” he added. “Just like airplanes, pharmaceuticals, and cars, there is a downside to AI. Everything can be used by bad people. So assuming the government finds some way to put guardrails around AI…but that will kill jobs. It doesn't mean people won't have other jobs.”

“My advice to people is to learn critical thinking, learn skills, learn emotional intelligence, learn how to do well in meetings, how to communicate, how to write. You're going to have a lot of work, and if it happens too quickly for society, which it can be, we can't assimilate everyone that quickly,” Dimon said.
Dimon said that if governments and large companies are initially unable to widely deploy AI to the general public, it's up to them to plan to phase in the technology “in a way that doesn't harm too many people.”

The CEO reiterated that while some jobs may be lost to AI, the technology can be used to “retrain and redeploy people” and provide income support and even early retirement.
“The next job may be a better job, but you have to learn how to do it,” he added, reiterating that people with specialized skills are always valuable.
Jamie Dimon predicted that skills such as construction will be essential to building the infrastructure needed for AI.
“There will probably be more jobs in total in the short term,” he added.
