"JPMorgan Chase plans to deploy AI agents later this year that can operate autonomously for hours at a time, CNBC has learned exclusively. AI agents are evolving from tools that complete single tasks to digital workers that manage workflows across multiple steps and disparate software programs. JPMorgan says AI is already boosting business results, including a 20% increase in private banking gross sales, and could eventually allow bankers to expand client coverage by as much as 50%."
