CNBC reports that the bank’s AI assistant is powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and that the tool allows for the bank’s engineers to add functions from other AI models into their own software or applications directly. 

According to Teresa Heitsenrether, JPMorgan’s chief data and analytics officer, this AI integration marks just the beginning of a comprehensive plan to embed generative AI throughout the bank’s operations.
