  • •Goldman Sachs has limited AI coding tool access to engineers only.
  • •The decision follows a review of productivity and risk management.
  • •Traders and bankers had previously used these tools for several months.

Goldman Sachs has restricted access to advanced AI coding tools, including Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub, for most traders and bankers, leaving only engineers with access. This decision, based on internal guidelines issued in October, ends a period of broader experimentation that had been ongoing for months. The firm cited productivity and risk management as factors for this rollback, which has reportedly caused frustration among affected employees. Previously, non-technical staff had been encouraged to use these tools for quick prototyping. The change signifies a shift in strategy, focusing on limiting access to those deemed best suited for long-term use of the tools. The internal guidance reflects a more cautious approach to AI tool utilization within the firm.
