Goldman Sachs pulls AI coding tools from traders and bankers

Goldman Sachs has cut off most employees, including traders and bankers, from advanced AI coding tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub, leaving access to engineers only, per Bloomberg citing internal October guidelines. A Goldman spokesperson cited "a variety of factors including productivity and risk management" and said the experimentation phase is over, with tools now limited to those best suited to use them long term. The rollback reportedly causes frustration inside the firm, after CIO Marco Argenti had praised "vibe coding" by non-technical staff in July.
