👔 Your New Coworker Doesn’t Breathe. But It Can Fire Off Emails at 3AM. BNY Mellon didn’t hire a new team of interns. They onboarded dozens of AI employees. Not dashboards. Not copilots. Employees. With logins, managers, tasks—and soon, email and Slack access. They fix bugs. Validate payments. Don’t eat. Don’t sleep. Don’t unionize. And they’re rated just like everyone else. Meanwhile, JPMorgan rolled out AI assistants to 230,000 employees. That’s not an experiment. That’s a blood transfusion. This is about job loss. You think your employer won’t replace you with something cheaper, faster, and tireless? Only bankrupt companies cling to payroll while their competitors upgrade to code. The question isn’t if AI will take jobs. It’s who still has one when the software gets its six-month review. This is just the opening salvo of AI employees. Imagine how good they’ll be in two years— while you’re still updating your resume. 📎 Source: WSJ – “Digital Workers Have Arrived in Banking” by Isabelle Bousquette https://lnkd.in/egmzfNnb
