Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. (NYSE:SMFG) has launched a ChatGPT-powered "AI CEO" that employees can ping for guidance, meant to mimic the thinking of Group CEO Toru Nakashima.
What Happened: Built on OpenAI's GPT-4o model, the bot draws on a year of Nakashima's remarks, third-party profiles and internal documents so replies "sound like the boss," the bank said. Staff can chat with a text version of the “AI CEO” today, with an animated avatar slated to be launched for in-house events later this year.
