JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon launches cross-industry initiative to address AI risks to critical infrastructure

Aug 5, 2026

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is leading a major cross-industry campaign to address the security risks of artificial intelligence. Dimon has approached over 40 companies across critical sectors—including finance, energy, water, and telecommunications—to expand the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure (ACI). The initiative aims to establish shared AI safeguards and coordinate with the Trump administration, emerging alongside the federal government's new Gold Eagle initiative to defend critical systems.
