UBS requires new junior bankers to master AI

UBS is requiring job applicants for junior investment banking positions to demonstrate mastery of artificial intelligence (AI) as a hiring requirement. The Swiss bank is seeking candidates who can show how they can use AI to improve results and efficiency. This new requirement is in addition to traditional qualifications such as a pending bachelor's degree.

UBS is one of the first major financial institutions to explicitly require AI skills for junior bankers. Other banks, such as Santander, are also seeking candidates with advanced AI skills for certain graduate programs.
