Wall Street firms like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are strategically integrating AI into their operations, aiming to automate tasks and enhance efficiency. Despite strong financial performance, both companies are adopting a cautious hiring approach, favoring AI implementation over headcount expansion. JPMorgan Chase’s Q3 profit increased 12% while headcount grew only 1%. Goldman Sachs plans to reorganize around AI capabilities and “constrain headcount growth.” These moves mirror tech sector trends, with operational roles being most vulnerable to AI-driven displacement. Both firms emphasize employee retraining.
