Goldman Sachs Restricts AI Coding Tools for Traders and Bankers, Limiting Access to Engineers

Goldman Sachs has revoked access to advanced AI coding tools such as Claude Code and GitHub from most non-technical staff, limiting their use strictly to engineers. Traders and bankers had spent months using these tools to monitor trade flows and generate content, with senior executives previously encouraging non-technical employees to experiment with vibe coding. A Goldman spokesperson said the experimental phase has concluded, and the firm is now focusing the tools on those best positioned to drive long-term value, citing considerations around productivity and risk management.
