## How does UBS Group AG compare with its peers on AI and technology?

UBS scores 76.5 on this site's AI disclosure reference score, #30 of 140 banks and eighth in its 11-bank peer group of the wealth and investment-banking rivals its 20-F names: behind Bank of America (96.9), Citigroup (93.8), HSBC (88.5), Wells Fargo (87.8), JPMorgan Chase (87.5), Deutsche Bank (78.9) and Goldman Sachs (78.5), close to Barclays (76), and ahead of BNP Paribas (72) and Morgan Stanley (66.6). The score measures what is on the record, not capability. Outside rankings place UBS higher: Evident's 2026 index, published 6 October, ranked it sixth of 50 banks and the only European bank in the top ten, with HSBC falling to 11th. Three things separate it from named peers. First, a published use-case series: 560 live AI use cases in its second-quarter 2026 release, up 92% year on year, with more than 920 in development; Bank of America cites about 140 implemented AI uses. Second, a chief AI officer, Daniele Magazzeni, hired from J.P. Morgan and in post since 1 January 2026, three months before HSBC named its first. Third, advisor AI at scale: nearly 90% of US advisor teams use its flagship AI insights platform, and STAAT Insights delivered more than 20 million insights in 2025; Morgan Stanley's OpenAI-based Assistant is used by 98% of its advisor teams. Where UBS trails: it publishes no AI spend or return figure, while Bank of America says about 140 AI uses cost $400 million and generate $800 million, and it ranks ninth of 11 in the group on its own primary disclosures.

## Where does UBS lead its peers on AI?

- **The only European bank in Evident's 2026 top ten.** Evident's 2026 AI index, published 6 October 2026, ranked UBS sixth of 50 large banks, up one place, and the only European bank in the top ten; HSBC fell from eighth to 11th. JPMorgan Chase led the ranking.

- **A quarterly use-case series.** UBS has reported live AI use cases every quarter: more than 280 (2Q25), over 380 (4Q25), over 500 (1Q26) and 560 (2Q26), with 920-plus in development. Bank of America's CEO cites about 140 implemented AI uses; BNP Paribas says more than 800 are in place; HSBC counts more than 100 active gen-AI use cases.

- **A chief AI officer before most peers.** UBS named Daniele Magazzeni, previously Chief Analytics Officer for EMEA and the Commercial and Investment Bank at J.P. Morgan, its first chief AI officer from 1 January 2026, running a Chief AI Office in a hub-and-spoke model. HSBC appointed David Rice from 1 April 2026; BNP Paribas has no named chief AI officer.

- **Advisor AI that acts, with advisor approval.** UBS's head of AI product told Reuters in July 2026 that advisor agents send thousands of alerts a day and, once an advisor decides, can trade and complete transfers; nearly 90% of US advisor teams use the flagship platform. Morgan Stanley's client-facing assistants were in testing from summer 2026.

## Where does UBS trail its peers on AI?

- **No AI spend or return figure.** UBS's CEO said in September 2026 that AI 'is not for free', but the group publishes no AI budget or benefit. Bank of America says about 140 AI uses cost $400 million and generate $800 million in benefit, and JPMorgan's CFO put AI spend near $700 million (October 2026).

- **Thin on its own primary disclosures.** UBS ranks ninth of 11 in the peer group on own primary disclosures; much of its AI detail comes from quarterly releases and press reports. In June 2026 it also told the Financial Times that a KPMG report's claim that it integrates AI agents across advisory, risk and compliance was 'factually incorrect'.

## Where does UBS rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

## What has each bank in UBS's peer group disclosed about its AI?

Facts from each bank's profile, cited to the profile's own sources. "Not disclosed" means the bank's public record, as cited on its profile, does not state it.

## How does UBS's AI leadership model compare with its peers'?

UBS runs AI in a hub-and-spoke model: the Chief AI Office, inside the Group Chief Operating Office, owns strategy, governance, regulatory engagement and capability enablement, while the business divisions own delivery; an AI Operating & Risk Committee oversees execution under a group AI policy, and every employee takes mandatory annual responsible-AI training. Tools are being consolidated onto one platform, UBS Claves, with automated routing between models to balance performance and token cost, and in its second-quarter 2026 release UBS said every employee can now build an AI agent. ([UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/our-firm/what-we-do/technology/innovation-and-ai.html), [UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20251016-ai-strategy.html), [UBS Group AG and UBS AG (Business Wire)](https://businesswire.com/news/home/20260728010217/en/UBS-AG-UK-Regulatory-Announcement-UBS-reports-2Q26-net-profit-of-USD-2.8bn-and-USD-5.8bn-for-1H26-with-robust-momentum-across-businesses-Group-invested-assets-at-USD-7.3trn-Ad-hoc-announcement-pursuant-to-Article-53-of-the-SIX-Exchange-Regulation-Listing-Rules))

HSBC adopted a similar structure in 2026, naming David Rice chief AI officer and giving its CTO a central AI platform; Goldman Sachs runs a firmwide AI Risk Committee co-chaired by its CIO and chief risk officer; Bank of America reviews every AI project against 16 risk pillars. Magazzeni came to UBS from J.P. Morgan, where he was Chief Analytics Officer for EMEA and the Commercial and Investment Bank.

## Which banks are UBS's peers, and why these?

UBS Group AG is compared here with Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas SA, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Barclays PLC: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). UBS Group AG is classed as a investment bank, broker or wealth manager headquartered in Switzerland.

The computed group compared UBS with European universal and retail banks plus MUFG and RBC, but UBS is primarily a global wealth manager, so this page uses the rivals its 2025 Form 20-F names: Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo in wealth management, HSBC, Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas internationally, and Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Barclays in investment banking.

## Common questions

### Is UBS better than Morgan Stanley at AI?

The record cannot settle capability. On this site's reference score UBS (76.5) is ahead of Morgan Stanley (66.6), and Evident's 2026 index ranked UBS sixth of 50 banks. Morgan Stanley's OpenAI-based Assistant is used by 98% of its advisor teams; nearly 90% of UBS's US advisor teams use its flagship AI insights platform. ([Euronews via Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubs-only-european-bank-top-054547722.html), [Morgan Stanley](https://www.morganstanley.com/press-releases/ai-at-morgan-stanley-debrief-launch), [UBS Group AG (SEC filing)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1610520/000161052026000053/investorpresotext2026.htm))

### How many AI use cases does UBS have compared with its peers?

UBS reported 560 live AI use cases in its second-quarter 2026 release, up 92% year on year, with more than 920 in development and nine large-scale transformational initiatives. Bank of America's CEO cites about 140 implemented AI uses, BNP Paribas says more than 800 are in place, and HSBC counts more than 100 active generative-AI use cases. ([UBS Group AG and UBS AG (Business Wire)](https://businesswire.com/news/home/20260728010217/en/UBS-AG-UK-Regulatory-Announcement-UBS-reports-2Q26-net-profit-of-USD-2.8bn-and-USD-5.8bn-for-1H26-with-robust-momentum-across-businesses-Group-invested-assets-at-USD-7.3trn-Ad-hoc-announcement-pursuant-to-Article-53-of-the-SIX-Exchange-Regulation-Listing-Rules), [Banking Dive](https://www.bankingdive.com/news/bank-of-america-ai-spending-roi-headcount-moynihan/831159), [BNP Paribas](https://group.bnpparibas/en/group/about-us/frequently-asked-questions/faq-tech-artificial-intelligence), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://www.hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/investors/hsbc-results/2025/annual/pdfs/hsbc-holdings-plc/260225-annual-report-and-accounts-2025.pdf))

### Who is UBS's chief AI officer?

Daniele Magazzeni became UBS's first chief AI officer on 1 January 2026. He spent almost six years at J.P. Morgan, ending as Chief Analytics Officer for EMEA and its Commercial and Investment Bank, and was earlier an associate professor of AI at King's College London. The Chief AI Office sits in the Group Chief Operating Office. ([UBS Group AG](https://www.ubs.com/global/en/media/display-page-ndp/en-20251016-ai-strategy.html))

### Which European bank leads on AI, UBS or HSBC?

On Evident's 2026 index UBS ranked sixth of 50 and was the only European bank in the top ten, while HSBC fell from eighth to 11th. On this site's reference score HSBC (88.5) is ahead of UBS (76.5). Both measure what is published rather than capability. ([Euronews via Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ubs-only-european-bank-top-054547722.html))

### How does UBS's AI spending compare with Bank of America and JPMorgan?

UBS does not publish an AI budget; its CEO said in September 2026 that AI 'is not for free'. Bank of America says about 140 AI uses cost $400 million and generate $800 million of benefit and expects its AI expense budget to double in 2027, and JPMorgan's CFO put AI spend near $700 million in October 2026. ([Investing.com](https://investing.com/news/transcripts/ubs-at-bank-of-america-financials-conference-growth-meets-capital-pressure-93CH-4910194), [Banking Dive](https://www.bankingdive.com/news/bank-of-america-ai-spending-roi-headcount-moynihan/831159), [Banking Dive](https://www.bankingdive.com/news/jpmorgan-dimon-ai-agents-bank-customers-liability-transfer/832870))

### How many UBS developers use AI coding tools?

About 18,000 UBS developers use AI across the software lifecycle and over a quarter of AI suggestions go directly into production code (July 2026). HSBC reports 31,000 engineers on coding assistants, Bank of America about 20,000 developers on coding agents and Citigroup 14,000 engineers on Cognition's Devin. ([UBS Group AG and UBS AG (Business Wire)](https://businesswire.com/news/home/20260728010217/en/UBS-AG-UK-Regulatory-Announcement-UBS-reports-2Q26-net-profit-of-USD-2.8bn-and-USD-5.8bn-for-1H26-with-robust-momentum-across-businesses-Group-invested-assets-at-USD-7.3trn-Ad-hoc-announcement-pursuant-to-Article-53-of-the-SIX-Exchange-Regulation-Listing-Rules), [HSBC Holdings plc](https://www.hsbc.com/-/files/hsbc/investors/hsbc-results/2025/annual/pdfs/hsbc-holdings-plc/260226-annual-results-to-investors-and-analysts-transcript.pdf), [Banking Dive](https://www.bankingdive.com/news/bank-of-america-ai-spending-roi-headcount-moynihan/831159), [The Motley Fool (earnings call transcript)](https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2026/10/13/citi-c-q3-2026-earnings-call-transcript/))

### Why is UBS compared with US banks?

UBS's 2025 Form 20-F names Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo as main wealth-management competitors in the Americas, where around half of its wealth clients' invested assets are booked, and names Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other US banks among its investment-banking rivals. ([UBS Group AG (SEC filing)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1610520/000161052026000023/ubs-20251231.htm))
