UBS demands new junior bankers show AI proficiency

UBS is now requiring AI proficiency for junior banker applicants in its 2026 campus recruitment, including prompt engineering, using AI tools for data work, and automating repetitive tasks. The bank has already rolled out an internal chatbot called UBS Genie and plans to add AI training to its 2027 summer analyst program. The post doesn't spell out how candidates will be tested or which credentials count, but the direction is clear: AI is becoming a baseline skill, not a bonus.
