The broader banking sector is undergoing similar shifts: Morgan Stanley forecasts 400,000 European banking jobs eliminated by AI by 2030, and ex-bankers are charging up to $25,000 a day to train institutions on AI tools they've already bought but haven't deployed effectively. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
