Sumeet Chabria, founder of ThoughtLinks, predicts artificial intelligence will transform up to 33% of investment banking workflows by 2030, impacting M&A, equity underwriting, debt underwriting, and sales & trading roles across Wall Street firms like JPMorgan, Citi, and Goldman Sachs.
AI will automate tasks such as data analysis, document drafting, and market scenario simulations, freeing human bankers to focus on high-value activities. In M&A, AI identifies targets and flags risks, while bankers lead deal strategy and complex due diligence.
For equity and debt underwriting, AI handles pricing adjustments, allocation testing, and document drafting, allowing human teams to manage investor relationships, legal compliance, and market narratives. Sales and trading desks will see AI provide real-time execution recommendations, with traders maintaining oversight for risk management and client trust.
This shift emphasizes human judgment and strategic decision-making as indispensable.
