The Banker Next Door

How is everyone doing today? Welcome back to another episode of The Banker Next Door. I'm your host, Dr. Joseph Bergquist. So today's episode is another bank news episode. I've got 12 articles loaded up and I'm going to run through a bunch of these real quick with everyone here today. Hopefully, again, hopefully people seem to be enjoying this format. So I'm kind of sticking with it for the for a little while here to see how we keep going. But so I've got 12 articles here from Banking Dive today. And we're going to start off here with Standard Charter CEO,

Apologizes over lower value human capital comment. So CEOs from JPMorgan Chase, HSBC and Barclays added their takes to polarizing remarks by the Standard Chartereded Chief Bill Winters in explaining his bank's increasing embrace of AI. Now, what happened here very quickly was Mr. Winters went over to Hong Kong and he was making statements about how Standard Chartereded was going to improve itself through the use of AI. And in the course of public comments, he basically

referred to his employees as lower value human capital. As you can imagine, that did not go over well. It did not go over well in the press, certainly did not go over well with his employees. And he did a whole lot of backtracking. Now, the problem I think here for Mr. Winters is that I don't know that anybody was really buying the apology at the end of the day. And I think therein lies your problem. I think this was one of those rare moments of mask off, if you will. And the real feelings were allowed to be shown.
