Each row quotes one record from careers-site snapshots; the “On this site” link opens the bank's own page or sub-page with every source. Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds.
How is this ranked?
Data: the weekly open-AI-roles sweep (data/banks/open-roles.json): currently open AI-related postings read from each bank's own careers site, capped at 12 per bank; snapshots dated 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-27.
Rule: Every AI-related posting in the snapshot. Score = open AI roles (the sweep keeps at most 12 per bank, so a bank at the cap may have more).
Counts: 76 of 141 profiled banks qualify; the table shows the top 40; 78 distinct sources cited in the table. Data checked 2026-10-27; ranking template updated 2026-10-30.
What are the caveats?
Hiring is evidence of intent, not deployment. The snapshot is a point in time: postings close, and a careers site the sweep cannot read leaves the bank out.
Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds, which is not evidence that they do nothing. Each row links the bank's own page, where every entry carries its sources.
Which bank ranks first?
JPMorgan Chase leads with 12 open roles: Senior Executive Director of Data & AI; Applied ML and Generative AI Leader - Executive Director; Executive Director Machine Learning Engineer-MLOps and 9 more (snapshot capped at 12). BofA is second with 12.
How many large banks have open AI roles?
76 of the 141 profiled banks (120 US, 21 non-US groups); the table shows the top 40. Among those listed, 27 are US banks and 13 non-US groups.
What counts, and what does not?
Every AI-related posting in the snapshot. Score = open AI roles (the sweep keeps at most 12 per bank, so a bank at the cap may have more). Source: the weekly open-AI-roles sweep (data/banks/open-roles.json): currently open AI-related postings read from each bank's own careers site, capped at 12 per bank; snapshots dated 2026-10-01 to 2026-10-27.
Is this a measure of capability?
No. Every row is a sourced fact on the public record: what the bank, a regulator, a filing or an independent outlet has put on the record. The page does not rate how well anything works.
When was this checked, and how often does it update?
The data behind the table was last checked on 2026-10-27 (careers-site snapshots). The page recomputes whenever that dataset changes and is republished with the site; it is never edited by hand.
