Summary
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns that broad access to advanced AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos is a serious risk, likening it to giving ballistic missiles to individuals. He notes the U.S. government is now focused on controlling this rollout, not on preventing small banks from gaining AI capabilities. Dimon also discusses the labor-market impact, arguing technology always creates jobs but that the speed of AI adoption could displace middle-class workers faster than reskilling can respond.
