JPMorgan Chase has revealed its plans to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) service similar to ChatGPT that will provide investment advice to its customers. The company recently applied for a trademark for a product called IndexGPT that will use AI-powered cloud computing software to analyze and select securities tailored to customer needs. The move by JPMorgan reflects the growing interest in AI technology in the financial industry.
The success of OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology has pushed companies to explore AI for various applications in finance. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have already started testing AI technology for internal use, such as helping engineers create code or answering financial advisors’ queries. However, JPMorgan may become the first financial institution to release a GPT-like product directly to its customers.
JPMorgan’s filing for the IndexGPT trademark suggests that the bank is serious about launching a product in the near future. The filing includes a statement indicating the bank’s intention to use the trademark. Trademarks usually take about a year to be approved, so JPMorgan will need to launch IndexGPT within three years of approval to secure the trademark.
The use of AI in providing investment advice raises concerns among traditional financial advisors. Fears about technology displacing their role in the market have not materialized significantly, as wealth management firms continue to see growth in assets managed by human advisors, despite offering robo-advisor services. JPMorgan’s move to develop an AI-based investment advice service demonstrates its commitment to exploring the potential of AI technology in delivering value for the firm.
Overall, JPMorgan’s development of an AI service for investment advice reflects the growing trend in the financial industry to leverage AI technology. As the adoption of AI continues to expand, banks and other financial institutions are exploring ways to integrate AI into their operations to improve efficiency and enhance customer experience.
