JP Morgan plans to deploy more capable AI agents later this year, CNBC reports. Chief Analytics Officer Derek Waldron told CNBC the agents are evolving from single-task tools into digital workers that can manage multi-step workflows across different software and run autonomously for one to two hours rather than just two to three minutes.
