Major corporations are implementing internal regulations to restrict employee access to external artificial intelligence tools. Goldman Sachs has limited the use of advanced AI coding tools, such as Anthropic’s Claude Code and Microsoft’s GitHub, primarily to its engineering staff. This policy follows an experimental phase where traders and bankers used the technology for market modeling and content creation. A spokesperson stated the tools are being returned to those “best suited to use them long-term” to improve risk management and productivity monitoring. Further restrictions at Goldman Sachs now specifically target third-party AI coding agents for bankers and traders. The firm cited security concerns regarding untrained employees running software on networks that handle sensitive customer information. While these autonomous third-party agents are limited, the company will continue to allow the use of its proprietary internal AI assistant, which utilizes models from multiple providers, across the organization. ByteDance has reportedly banned external AI access to specific code repositories and documents to prevent data leakage. The company is moving to phase out third-party AI development software in favor of its own programming assistant, Trae. ByteDance leadership has noted that the leakage of certain level content would result in severe consequences.
