Bank of America hired 1,000 external contractors alongside 3,000 internal staff to patch software vulnerabilities exposed by advanced AI models like Anthropic's Mythos, costing the bank hundreds of millions in the third quarter. CEO Brian Moynihan said these defensive costs are temporary and will decline as patching needs reduce. Meanwhile, the bank's 130 internal AI projects are expected to generate savings rising from $300 million this year to $700 million by 2027, highlighting AI's dual role in both creating short-term expenses and long-term efficiencies.
Bank of America's extensive efforts to secure its software systems come as its shares face a notable decline. On Pluang, BAC trades at USD 50.95, down 5.58% as of Oct 15, 2026 02:02 WIB, with a market cap of $377.33 billion. Despite the short-term costs, investor interest remains strong with 80% of Pluang orders buying the stock, reflecting confidence in the bank's long-term AI-driven savings potential.
