Comment by Jamie Dimon
Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase
We would agree. If we have to do that to save society, remember, it'll be a more productive society. So, society will have more production, we're gonna cure a lot of cancers, you're not gonna slow it down. How do you have plans in place to make it work better if in fact it does something terrible? And that's the only way to do it.AI Verified source (Jan 21, 2026)

The supplied World Economic Forum transcript page contains the exact quoted wording and attributes it in the dialogue to “Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase”; a separate official WEF session page for the same conversation lists the event on January 21, 2026, which matches the stored date.

Fortune’s January 22, 2026 article does print this exact wording and attributes it to Jamie Dimon, but the World Economic Forum transcript of the same Davos exchange gives a longer/different version, adding “remember, it’ll be a more productive society. So ...” and other wording changes. So the quote is real in substance and correctly attributed, but the supplied text is not a confirmed verbatim primary-source quote.

Quote attributed to Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan Chase CEO (2026). The Fortune source_url returned HTTP 403 to automated fetching, but web search confirmed the article exists at that exact URL ("JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says he welcomes government ban on mass-firing people for AI: 'We're going to cure a lot of cancers'", Fortune 2026-01-22, from Davos/WEF) and corroborated the quote fragments verbatim: he would support intervention "if we have to do that to save society," "Society will have more production," "We're going to cure a lot of cancers," "You're not going to slow it down." Context: he welcomes safeguards against mass AI layoffs and outlines plans to "retrain, relocate, income-assist" workers. Year (2026) current and correct. Author attribution confirmed. Vote alignment: Dimon supports redistributive/protective measures (income assistance, intervention to prevent civil unrest) so AI's gains and disruptions are managed for society broadly — consistent with the "for" vote on "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth." Note: the quote frames this around worker protection/societal stability rather than literal global per-person sharing, but the supportive stance toward distributing AI's benefits aligns with "for."
