Goldman Sachs has barred most of its workforce from using advanced artificial intelligence tools designed for coding, according to reporting by Bloomberg. The restrictions cut off bankers and traders while limiting access to advanced coding tools strictly to engineers.[1][2][3][6]

The policy change specifically targets platforms such as Claude Code and GitHub, Crypto Briefing reported. The clampdown follows an internal review by the investment bank evaluating productivity impacts along with security, risk, and compliance concerns. The decision has also irked some employees across the firm.[1][2][5][6]

Industry observers and reporting outlets noted that the restrictions signal a broader move toward tighter AI governance on Wall Street, emphasizing controlled access and proprietary solutions over third-party alternatives.[5][7]
