Brian Moynihan, the CEO of Bank of America, used the bank’s Q2 2026 earnings call on July 15 to address how the AI tools they’re deploying don’t become the very thing that compromises their systems.
When one of the largest banks on the planet processes over 400,000 AI prompts from employees every single day, the attack surface isn’t exactly small. Moynihan’s message was clear: AI is being used responsibly to protect data and security, and the bank isn’t just winging it with more than 300 approved use cases already in production.
The scale of AI inside Bank of America
The bank has roughly 19,000 developers who have benefited from AI-powered coding assistance. The productivity gains from that effort alone exceed 20%, according to data shared during the earnings call.
Cybersecurity has been on Moynihan’s radar for a while
