(Bloomberg) — Today, it's not just humans competing for work in banking. Machines are becoming a threat to warm-blooded number crunchers worldwide. Indeed, almost one-third of financial-services jobs could be displaced by automation by the mid-2030s, according to a report by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP last year.
Despite those stark forecasts, some optimists argue that the rise of machines at banks isn't simply taking away jobs, but rather changing their definition and adding some roles.
