JPMorgan, led by Jamie Dimon, is eyeing a stock-picking service driven by AI.

JPMorgan Chase is looking into a software service using artificial intelligence for picking stocks, according to trademark filings, as the banking giant joins the AI fervor that has gripped investors in recent months.

JPMorgan (ticker: JPM) has applied to trademark “IndexGPT,” referencing the type of AI that supports Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot launched last year, which has spurred widespread public and investor interest in the technology.

IndexGPT could use “cloud-computing software, using artificial intelligence for use in…selection of financial securities and financial assets,” according to the trademark filing, which also references distribution via a software-as-a-service model. The news was first reported by CNBC.

A boom in interest regarding investment opportunities in AI has buoyed tech stocks this week, led higher by chip giant Nvidia (NVDA). The move by JPMorgan supports how companies across a wider range of industries might look to leverage the technology.

While an AI stock-picking service has the potential to disrupt the financial advisory industry, not everyone is on board. Paul Reilly, CEO of wealth manager Raymond James Financial, said this week the group won’t use AI as a replacement for human financial advisors.

  Inside the Mormon Church’s Globe-Spanning Real-Estate Empire From Guam to Cape Verde, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is using the financial cushion of its $100 billion investment portfolio to go on a temple-building spree A whistleblower revealed a few years ago that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints had an estimated $100 billion investment portfolio, and at the time, church officials called the holdings a rainy-day account. They now say the money also has provided a financial foundation that gives the Mormon Church confidence to construct more than 100 temples, from Cape Verde to Guam, a series of stone-clad monuments exhibiting the church’s vast and expanding wealth. In Pocatello, Idaho, a city of 56,000 in the rural southeastern corner of the state, a recently constructed temple stands at 71,125 square feet. Its polished limestone flooring was quarried in Bethlehem, the biblical birthplace of Jesus, and wood for its doors was imported from the Congo

 Good to know. The way tech companies continue to deliver ever-faster and more capable computers is undergoing a profound change—at the atomic level. Performance gains that were for decades accomplished mostly by shrinking the individual components on microchips—often described as Moore’s Law—are now increasingly the result of materials science, which is evolving faster than it has in decades. Santa Clara-based Applied Materials, founded in 1967, a year before Intel, is the biggest of the companies that are leading the way. It’s a change born of necessity. Chip makers are bumping up against a hard limit on how tiny the elements on chips can become, as some of their features can now be measured at the scale of just a few atoms. As a result, manipulating what materials are in these tiny machines, and how they’re connected to one another, has become a primary way that engineers can continue to make them faster and more capable.
