NatWest chief executive Paul Thwaite says some jobs in the banking sector will be taken over by artificial intelligence (AI). Multiple reports describe his comments as part of a broader recognition among bank leaders that automation and AI technologies will change how work is carried out in financial services. The coverage frames the issue as job roles being affected rather than a complete replacement of all banking functions. According to the summaries provided, Thwaite positions AI as a factor that will reshape staffing needs and tasks within banks, reflecting industry-wide discussion about productivity, technology adoption, and the future of work. The reports do not provide detailed examples of which specific roles or tasks will be replaced, nor do they outline timing, scale, or any company plans for retraining or job transitions. Overall, the articles agree that Thwaite is the latest banking executive to publicly acknowledge AI’s impact on employment in the sector.
