[Goldman Sachs Restricts Traders and Bankers' Use of Certain Advanced AI Tools] Following a productivity and risk assessment, Goldman Sachs has banned most of its employees from using advanced AI tools designed for programming, a move that has sparked discontent among some. For months, Goldman Sachs had allowed bankers to use Anthropic PBC's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub in their work. Now, the bank will restrict these tools to engineers only. A source familiar with the matter said the ban has upset some traders who previously used these tools to expedite certain tasks, such as monitoring client trading flows, modeling market changes and positions, and creating text and graphical content.
