Standard Chartered Bank plans to cut over 7,000 jobs in the next four years and increase investment in AI

AIMPACT News, May 19 (UTC+8), Standard Chartered Bank plans to cut over 7,000 jobs in the next four years to replace "low-value human capital" with technology, becoming the latest financial institution to use artificial intelligence to drive large-scale layoffs. This London-based bank stated on Tuesday that AI will help streamline operations to improve profitability and respond to competition. Standard Chartered said it aims to reduce 15% of corporate functions by 2030. According to Reuters calculations, this means more than 7,000 employees out of over 52k in related departments will be laid off. CEO Bill Winters told reporters, "This is not simply about cost-cutting, but in some cases, replacing low-value human capital with the financial and investment capital we have invested."
