Goldman Sachs Is Pulling Claude Code from Its Bankers and Traders

Goldman Sachs has restricted access to Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub to its engineers only, cutting off traders and bankers who previously used these AI coding tools to monitor client flows and build market models. The October policy change follows a review of productivity and risk concerns, particularly regarding non-technical employees running software that writes and executes code on machines handling sensitive client information. The move comes as Goldman serves as a lead underwriter on Anthropic's IPO and follows an April restriction on Claude access in Hong Kong.
