Tech leaders say AI could end humanity. Banks still love it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This month, anxiety about artificial intelligence skyrocketed as industry insiders warned that the technology could end humanity. But by all appearances, that hasn't put a dent in banks' enthusiasm.

Read excerpt
Truist Financial is leaving the near-prime auto lending business, as new CEO Michael Lyons begins to make his mark on the bank. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company said Tuesday that it's reached a deal to sell $5.5 billion of auto loans, essentially clearing out all the assets of the Regional Acceptance Corp., its auto-lending subsidiary.
