How AI Is Changing Software Development at JPMorgan Chase
TechTarget, Wednesday, June 17th, 2026
JPMorgan Chase CIO explains how AI shifts engineers from coding to problem-solving while raising the bar on fundamentals.
JPMorgan Chase CIO Gill Haus argues AI fundamentally transforms software engineering value, shifting emphasis from raw coding output to engineers who understand customer problems and architecture.
Haus says "we don't really hire engineers to write code -- we hire them to know what code to write." As AI automates routine tasks, fundamentals like testing, architecture, security, and governance become more critical.
Non-engineers will contribute more via AI tools, yet specialists remain essential for system design and scalability. Chase manages AI risk through human oversight, automated testing, and strong governance.
