   • 2026 April 30, Eleanor Pringle, “For years, the risk Jamie Dimon was most concerned about was geopolitics. His answer has shifted”, in Fortune‎:

     When Jamie Dimon is asked about the greatest risk he sees to the global economy, his answer for years has been “geopolitics.”

 It’s been with good reason […] the drama on the world stage seems to be reaching a crescendo.

 But even these facts have been equaled by a new threat the JPMorgan CEO sees on the horizon: cyber. […] This week, Dimon was asked about his top concerns during a live podcast appearance in Oslo at the Norges Bank Investment Management conference. “Cyber,” was his immediate response. He explained: “The bad guys can use cyber, and they’re going to get stronger and more powerful in terms of finding vulnerabilities. It’s been written about.” […] For all the promise AI offers to businesses, employees, and Wall Street, its very potential is also the reason it poses such a massive risk. Dimon’s cyber concerns, now with a real-world example in [Claude] Mythos, echo the worries expressed when developments in artificial intelligence first began garnering attention.
