Goldman Sachs restricts use of AI coding agents by staff

Goldman Sachs has implemented restrictions on the use of third-party autonomous AI coding agents by its bankers and traders. While the firm previously encouraged non-engineering employees to use AI to build tools and improve efficiency, the new policy addresses security concerns regarding non-engineers running software on networks that handle sensitive client information.

The restrictions specifically target third-party agents capable of autonomously writing and executing code. However, Goldman Sachs will continue to allow the use of its proprietary internal AI assistant, which utilizes models from multiple providers, across the organization.
