Goldman Sachs restricts AI coding tools to engineers
Original title: Goldman Sachs pulls AI coding tools from traders and bankers
Goldman Sachs limits advanced AI coding tools like Claude and GitHub to engineers only after October guidelines cite productivity and risk.
Goldman Sachs has cut off most employees from Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub Copilot. Only engineers can still use the tools following internal guidelines issued in October. The change ends a period of experimentation where non-technical staff built AI prototypes for trading flows and content. A spokesperson said the firm now limits tools to those best suited for long-term use. Back in July the CIO praised vibe coding by non-technical employees.
