Goldman Sachs is limiting access for traders and bankers to certain AI coding tools that employees had been able to use for work. Multiple outlets report the move follows internal review of productivity benefits and associated risk, and it results in narrower availability than before.
According to the coverage, Anthropic’s Claude Code and Microsoft’s GitHub are among the tools affected, with access reportedly restricted to engineers rather than broader employee groups. One outlet also highlights that there is an exception to the restriction, though the provided summary does not specify what the exception is. Another report characterizes the decision as curbing use of “some AI tools” without detailing which roles or tools beyond traders and bankers.
Overall, the sources align that Goldman made a policy change on AI coding tool usage for non-engineering staff, framed as a response to security and risk considerations while maintaining engineering access.
