UBS Now Requires New Junior Bankers to Prove They Can Use AI

UBS is requiring graduates and interns applying for junior investment banking roles to prove AI proficiency before they're hired, according to the Financial Times. The move contrasts with rivals like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, which have been shrinking junior analyst classes as AI takes over entry-level work.

Implications for AI “fouling” or software disruption?

An AI hacking trick is now being used to split the word ‘funding’ in spam

… The invisible characters sat inside ordinary words. One tag space went into the middle of a financial lure term. So “funding” travelled as “fun”, an invisible character, then “ding”. The recipient sees funding. A filter matching the literal string does not.

Keyword matching is the smaller prize. Modern spam classifiers run on machine learning, and those split text into tokens before they reason about it. Insert one invisible character and a familiar token can become two unfamiliar fragments. Or a rare sub-token the model has barely seen.
