Bank boss apologises for saying AI will replace ‘lower value’ humans

The boss of Standard Chartered has apologised for saying artificial intelligence would replace “lower value” humans.

Bill Winters, who has run the London-listed bank for more than a decade, said this week that Standard Chartered’s push into AI would eliminate thousands of roles, replacing “lower-value human capital” with technology.

The comments sparked a backlash and in a post on LinkedIn on Friday following the uproar, Mr Winters apologised for his choice of words.
