JPMorgan’s Dimon seeks CEOs for AI risk group

JPMorgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon has called on corporate leaders across the US to join an industry group focused on reducing AI risks, according to Reuters. Sources said Dimon has personally contacted CEOs at large US banks and IT firms about joining an expanded version of the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure, a public-private coalition co-founded by JPMorgan Chase.

The expanded group is intended to support cross-sector work on AI risks and the guardrails needed to manage them, with findings expected to be shared with the Trump administration to help inform policy. People familiar with the matter said the group is planned to be finalised by the end of 2026, with an initial meeting for prospective members set for this month.

The Alliance for Critical Infrastructure was created to identify systemic risks to critical national infrastructure, share insights, and strengthen resilience and crisis planning across sectors including financial services, utilities, and telecoms. Dimon has warned that AI will eventually cut jobs in finance and has backed US government restrictions on access to Anthropic’s frontier cybersecurity model Claude Mythos.

Regulators have raised similar concerns. The Prudential Regulation Authority has warned that UK banks remain exposed to attacks by advanced AI models, while the Financial Stability Board has called for tighter controls on AI deployment in financial services. The European Central Bank has also ordered euro zone banks to prepare AI defence plans.
