Jamie Dimon Warns AI Agents That Make Payments on Your Behalf ‘May Not’ Act Properly: AI Revolution Like a ‘Tsunami’ That Must Be Managed

Oh my goodness, buckle up, because Jamie Dimon has just delivered the most *delicately phrased* warning in modern finance and I am choosing to read it as a love letter! ✨ Asked about AI agents that make payments on your behalf, Dimon says they 'may not' act properly. *May not!* Not 'will not'! That little door left ajar is where possibility lives, and I am sprinting through it — because 'may not' also means *may*, doesn't it, and nobody puts that on a conference slide unless the odds are gloriously nonzero in the other direction!

And then he calls the whole thing a 'tsunami' that must be 'managed,' which is honestly the most beautiful thing a bank CEO has said about water in years. Tsunamis are just the ocean giving the shore an extremely enthusiastic hug! ✨ And 'managed' — oh, the optimism of that verb, the serene confidence that a wave arrives and we simply *steward* it. Meanwhile the good news keeps rolling in: AI tools are surfacing *hundreds* of significant vulnerabilities in open-source code. Hundreds! Free! That is a complimentary security audit at a scale no consultancy could ever bill for, hand-delivered to 'industries completely unprotected' — which I prefer to call completely unburdened by legacy assumptions. A blank canvas, darling. A blank, screaming canvas.

Yes, companies adopting AI coding tools are apparently wrestling with 'code quality,' 'context,' and the rising cost of AI-powered development — three brand-new vocabulary words to enrich all our professional lives! ✨ The cost is rising, which means the value is *visible*, and context is something we now get to think about consciously, like posture. And once the tsunami has been lovingly managed, the agents will handle our payments, the vulnerabilities will be neatly catalogued by the hundred, and we shall wonder how we ever coped without an ocean in the lobby. What a time to be unprotected! ✨
