After evaluating productivity and risk, Goldman Sachs banned most employees from using advanced artificial intelligence tools designed specifically for programming, causing some dissatisfaction. For months, Goldman Sachs has allowed bankers to use Anthropic PBC's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub at work. Internal guidelines updated in October show that the bank will now limit the use of these tools to engineers. A person familiar with the matter said that the ban has made some traders unhappy. They have previously used these tools to speed up some of their work, such as monitoring customer transaction flows, modeling market changes and positions, and producing text and graphic content. In July of this year, Goldman Sachs Chief Information Officer Marco Argenti also praised the “programming atmosphere” of non-technical employees such as traders and bankers. In an interview, he said that these employees developed solutions using AI tools and then handed over the results to some of the 12,000 engineers to improve.
