Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has been active in public forums discussing geopolitical risks, the U.S. economy, and artificial intelligence. At the Reagan National Economic Forum in May 2026, Dimon said that global “tectonic plates” — including the war in Ukraine, the conflict in Iran, remilitarization, and the restructuring of trade — are still shifting and “may very well affect the future of the free world.” He described the U.S. economy as “pretty good,” with 2% growth and low unemployment, but noted that inflation is “ticking up” and called the deficit “huge.” He described equity markets as “exuberant,” adding that while earnings growth may justify current levels, there is also “hype” and low credit spreads, which he said represent a risk. Dimon also warned that risks posed by Anthropic’s Mythos AI model are a “real issue,” and argued that access to advanced AI must be controlled, saying “you’re giving ballistic missiles to individuals with Mythos.” Dimon also addressed domestic policy and business strategy. He called on politicians to “sit down and fix policy” rather than raise taxes or increase spending, arguing that better policy could boost economic growth by 1%. He described a closed-door meeting with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, saying he “said everything I wanted to say” and noted that he has “seen mayors grow into the job” but others “fail because they can’t get themselves out of a paper bag or ideology blinds them to realistic real world policy.” On JPMorgan’s operations, Dimon said the bank will likely hire more workers for AI-related roles and fewer traditional bankers. He also said the bank plans to reduce headcount in some areas through natural attrition over time. Dimon reiterated that JPMorgan will redeploy and retrain its employees rather than lay them off, and noted the bank announced the “American Dream Initiative” to expand small-business lending, mortgages, and financial education.
