JPMorgan Wants to Help US Regulators on Building Generative AI Models

JPMorgan Chase & Co is leading the charge in deploying generative AI, and it's not only about innovation but also collaboration with regulators.

The bank is actively engaging with US regulators to navigate through its first wave of generative AI pilot projects while ensuring robust controls are in place.

JPMorgan Aims to Build AI Models

Lori Beer, JPMorgan's global chief information officer, emphasizes the importance of regulators understanding the intricacies of building generative AI models.

According to her, the financial service firm is focused on transparently demonstrating how they control these models and manage the associated risks. It's a collaborative effort aimed at addressing both the bank's and regulators' concerns.

It's pretty obvious how the generative AI trend started and OpenAI even made it clearer that companies badly need to adapt to this technology as soon as possible.

The release of ChatGPT in the previous year sparked a revolution in the banking sector. Banks like JPMorgan recognized the potential of generative AI, leading to increased hiring for AI-related roles.

Furthermore, the technology allows for diverse applications, including document summarization, email composition, and crafting intelligent responses to users. JPMorgan's proactive approach to hiring and deployment sets it apart from the competition.

"We're piloting, we're learning, we're figuring out. Based on what we learn, it's going to be the first half of next year at the earliest before we're ready to say anything is in production," Beer said in an interview at Innovation Lab.

JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon praised generative AI as "extraordinary and groundbreaking" in his annual shareholder letter. He envisions the innovation as an integration into every facet of the firm's operations, pinpointing the profound impact it can have on the industry.

Innovative AI Applications

JPMorgan is actively testing AI applications that promise to revolutionize the way banking services are delivered. One application focuses on generating earnings summaries for every company the bank tracks. Another is a help desk service that doesn't just provide links to articles but offers precise, step-by-step solutions to customer issues.

Moreover, the company's proactive stance is reflected in its move to trademark "IndexGPT," an application offering investment advice, per Bloomberg.

While it's not a product in development yet, it demonstrates the bank's commitment to safeguarding its intellectual property.

The Growing Potential of Generative AI

Generative AI is poised to reshape the banking landscape. McKinsey & Co Inc predicts that it could deliver up to $340 billion in annual value to the industry, primarily through productivity gains.

Banks like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are already deploying generative AI for various applications, from aiding financial advisors to automating software code writing.

While generative AI offers the advantage of rapid development, Beer points out that the real challenge lies in validation and controls. Protecting sensitive data and ensuring the accuracy of AI-generated content are top priorities.
