Asia has definitely emerged as one of the big winners in AI, says Rachid Alaoui, head of equity trading at JP Morgan Chase.
In the last quarter, the largest investment banks collectively pulled in a record $25.7 billion from equity trading, and Asia is a key factor.

The banks have declined to comment on the information.
