3 Key Points

What happened
Goldman Sachs has limited some bankers' and traders' use of third-party AI coding agents such as Claude Code and GitHub, a change some traders are unhappy about.

WHO IT HITSBanks and trading desks that let non-engineers build tools with AI agents now face a trade-off between speed and data security, since staff handling client information may lose access to outside coding agents.
