Bank of America to hire interns, campus recruits despite AI threat

June 3 (Reuters) - ‌Bank of ​America ​said on Wednesday it would welcome about ‌4,000 summer interns and full-time ⁠campus hires, signaling a commitment ‌to entry-level talent even ‌as the rise of AI fuels industry concerns over ​the future of junior banking roles.

The bank will ⁠make 2,000 full-time recruits and open 2,000 ​internship roles, according to an executive at BofA.

Comments from ​senior banking executives ‌underscore growing industry anxiety over the disruptive potential ⁠of AI, which is increasingly automating complex, data-intensive tasks previously ⁠handled by human staff.

Wall Street's integration ​of generative AI has cast a shadow over entry-level banking roles. However, ‌BofA said it was committed to additional ‌entry-level hiring initiatives.
