Firing the Humans: JPMC Big Bet on AI Proxy Advisors

2026-02-17 · 19:09 UTC ·The Activist Investor ·2 min read

Brief

The Activist Investor’s post is essentially a podcast plug tied to JPMorgan Chase’s decision to stop subscribing to ISS and Glass Lewis, the leading proxy-advisory firms. Beyond naming the Fordham law podcast and host Amelia Martella, it offers almost no analysis: no data on proxy-voting operations, no evidence of an AI deployment, and no operational or regulatory detail on what JPMorgan will use instead.

Why it matters

A short Substack post from The Activist Investor mainly promotes a podcast appearance about JPMorgan’s proxy-voting workflow.

Key details

  • Published on 2026-02-17, the 351-word post says the authors joined Fordham School of Law’s Bite-Sized Business Law podcast with host Amelia Martella.
  • The only substantive news item is that JPMorgan Chase recently canceled its subscriptions to the two dominant proxy-advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis.
  • The post provides no technical details on any AI system, no methodology, and no explanation of how JPMorgan will replace ISS/Glass Lewis beyond the headline’s implication of AI-based proxy advice.
