SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At the upcoming AI Frontiers Conference (Nov 9-11) in San Jose, California, JP Morgan just became a Diamond Sponsor. The annual conference is a premier industrial AI Conference that brings the most influential voices of AI together.

JP Morgan showed its ambition in AI by first hiring Manuela Veloso, head of the machine-learning department at Carnegie Mellon University in May this year. Three months later, it hired away Apoorv Saxena from Google, who has been leading product management of cloud-based AI at Google. JP Morgan is quietly building its AI force.
