Key points
- Goldman Sachs restricts **Claude Code** and **GitHub Copilot** to engineers only, per October policy update
- Traders previously used tools for tasks like trade monitoring and model-building; exceptions exist for ‘strats’
- Author suggests seven rules for small businesses to manage AI tool creation and verification
The change shifts responsibility for building AI-driven tools from non-engineers to a core team of engineers and ‘strats’ (strategists bridging trading, quant analysis, and software). Goldman has also introduced an in-house AI assistant integrating models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. While the policy does not apply to all employees—strats remain exempt—the specifics of affected roles and tasks remain unclear. Goldman has previously restricted AI use in Hong Kong for different reasons, signaling a cautious approach to AI adoption.
The article frames this as a broader lesson for small businesses: defining clear roles for AI tool creators and verifiers to avoid operational risks. The author proposes seven rules for CEOs, including limiting data input, designating tool ownership, and regular reviews. A prompt is provided to draft these rules using AI, emphasizing flexibility and iterative refinement.
