Yesterday
0326 GMT - Up to 10% of Australian mortgage repayments are made by those most whose jobs are most at risk from artificial intelligence, according to Macquarie analysts. Highlighting software engineers, accountants and advertising professionals as some of those most at risk of disruption, the investment bank's analysts flag a potential risk for major banks' credit quality. They think that disruption will first manifest as rising mortgage risk weights and higher impairments related to small- and medium-sized enterprises. National Australia Bank is most exposed to the latter, they add. The Macquarie analysts include their own profession as among those at risk. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
